Well Braveheart had the disadvantage of having to be historically accurate. From Wikipedia
Quote:
On 23 August 1305, Following the trial, Wallace was taken from the hall, stripped naked and dragged through the city at the heels of a horse to Smooth Field. He was hanged, drawn and quartered — strangled by hanging but released while still alive, emasculated, eviscerated and his bowels burnt before him, beheaded, then cut into four parts — at the Elms in Smithfield. His preserved head was placed on a pike atop London Bridge. It was later joined by the heads of his brother, John, and Simon Fraser. His limbs were displayed, separately, in Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling, and Aberdeen.

I heard Disney was working on a version where Wallace, realizing that Edward is misunderstood, manages to find the stuffed rabbit that Edward had lost as a child. A grateful Edward frees Scotland, knights Wallace, and invites him for tea. The last scene is of the two of them laughing together as the screen fades to black to the strains of "Scotland the Brave" sung by Elton John.
