I see this shit in movies all the time and it always just looks insane to me. Even just basic physics should mean that the equal and opposite reaction of one skull banging into the other would knock each person out equally. How does this ever work? The character always walks away like some badass as if they wouldn’t have some major concussion and are invincible. The only use of this I ever appreciated was the parody in an Adam Sandler movie where the guy did it and did actually pass out from it.

The point is that you hit them in the *worst* part of their head with the *best* part of your head and, ideally, you’re braced for it while they aren’t.
Gently (*gently*!) hit yourself in the forehead, then the nose, then the forehead. Big difference, right? Now imagine your nose got hit full-force with someone else’s forehead, and you didn’t see it coming. They get the follow-through, you get a bit of whiplash, and they’re probably swinging before you can really react to it.
