The Tom Cruise scenes in Tropic Thunder were pretty damn terrible. But really the entire movie sucked, so I'm not sure that counts.

Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
Well thanks for reminding me of that film. Just for that, I'm going to unleash another bit from that movie on RZ. Try getting this song out of your head after watching.

That entire movie just seemed like an episode of the Love Boat without the Love Boat.

Actually - you can pretty much put that whole movie on the list. Worst part is they actually made a sequel.
Cincinnati Reds: Farm System Champions 2022
What was them movie where Segal puts a pool ball in a towel (or cloth napkin) and hits people with it? It might have been Jean Claude...
Variatio delectat - Cicero
That was Out For Justice, with Segal and fellow hammer William Forsythe.
He had a bad one near the end of Out of Siege 2 - Warning: There are spoilers here for those who have not caught this masterpiece yet.
At the end of the movie, the main villain, played by Eric Bogosian, had a laptop in his hands which controlled a satellite which (simplistically) created earthquakes (no. seriously. They caused a plane crash by creating an earthquake on the plane. No, I am serious about that).
Segal's solution for this problem: Shoot the computer (actually shoot the laptop screen).
It worked. No, I am serious about that.
On the "Awesome" scale, how about the scene where John Travolta's character gets hit by a missile in Broken Arrow.
One of my favorites was Sudden Death with Jean Claude. How can you not love a movie with the following:
-Surprisingly good sports scenes with real players.
-A real location (the Civic Center in Pittsburgh)
-A villain whose real name is Powers Boothe (he was the leader of the gang in Tombstone)
-Overly rapid firing machine guns. These things were huge in '90's movies.
-Evil Mascots
-Jean Claude somehow playing goalie in a Stanley Cup game
It is one of my All-Time favorites.
Variatio delectat - Cicero
One of my all-time favorites as well -- I'll add the following two elements to your list as well:
- Actual inclusion of Mike Lange, voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins and one of the best announcers in all of sports.
- Willingness to try and base a plot around someone taking the Vice President hostage -- which seems to be pretty pointless, since the actual President is still around and can just appoint another one with little or no disruption to the functioning of government.

Since you guys aren't pointing to good movies with dumb scenes, I guess I'll play too...
True Lies.
The villain somehow gets hooked to a stinger missile connected to the Harrier that Arnold is flying. His daughter is hanging on to the nose of the jet. Arnold fires the missile through a building and hits the bad guy's helicopter.
I'll probably watch this movie a dozen more times in my life.
