HBO/BBC got it right in Rome. When Brutus finally stabs Caesar after he's been mauled by the rest of the conspirators, Caesar just looks at him questioningly.

If the account of his death is at all accurate, by the time Brutus stabs him, Caesar is probably choking on his own blood and can't say anything even if he wants to.

another goood example is the popular belief that Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet.
