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.

As with most things in movies, things are heavily modified to look cool.
The idea behind headbutting IRL is to break someone else’s nose with the thickest part of your skull. Still not great to be smacking your head on things, but if done properly you’ll do far more damage to the other person than to yourself. Broken noses are very painful and tend to involve a LOT of blood loss.
