I think we can all agree that the special effects in Robocop were quite poor. And haven’t stood the test of time.
Best movie comeuppance - beware of spoilers

Some of the effects, but a lot is excellent and really has stood up well. Look at ED-209s intruduction, that modelwork/stop motion is excellent.

The queen Borg in Star Trek: First Contact. Great entrance, just when you think all is lost, Data betrays her, utters the famous line 'resistance is futile', then smashes open the coolant tank. After she's gone, I like Picard picking up her twitching metal skull. Stewart was of course a member of the RSC and it looked for a second like he was about to say 'alas, poor Yorick'...but instead, snaps her spinal chord.
Most bizarre comeuppance:
Brazil: the two annoying plumbers get drowned when the air intake for their hazmat suits is swapped for the sewage outlet, basically filling them up with s**t.
007 movies have loads of villian/henchmen comeuppances, I always enjoy the motorbike assassin with rocket-bomb sidecar in The Spy Who Loved Me...'all those feathers and he still can't fly'

There were some particularly satisfying ones in Game of Thrones
Littlefinger finally getting hoist on his own petard as it were
Aiya getting her revenge the Freys: both the "Titus Andronicus" scene and the one where she uses the mission impossible mask to poison the rest of them.
The scene were Jonathan Pryce and his religious extremist followers are all blown to smithereens was rather enjoyable too
