Whenever I see those kinds of fight where the characters pretend to be normal humans then just out of the blue while fighting, punches a wall bare fisted, or takes a sledgehammer bonk to the head like it’s nothing. I’m more curious about the classic “shove the dude through the wall” move, sometimes into goddamn concrete walls. What would the damages actually be for the three parties (third being the wall) if it’s even possible to start with in real life ?

I was in the Army, ~30 or so years ago, I saw the aftermath of a contractor was inflating a split rim tire without a cage.
The rim failed with a boom that seemed to shake the entire motor pool. It launched the dude into a block wall, cracking a few.
He was breathing for about 3 minutes or so, and looked somewhat misshapen. Then convulsed and died. I suspect that’s how long it took him to bleed out from internal injuries.
If he had gone through the wall, I’m sure he would have been dead instantly, and at best been a human~ish shaped blood pudding.
Since he was a civilian contractor, there wasn’t even a safety briefing about the accident or any mention of it. I lost all regard for the army that day.
I’ve also dove through a few drywall interior walls in my twenties. Much like breaking boards in karate, it only hurts if you fail to break it.
I imagine between drywall(no real injuries) and cement block walls(fucked), say plywood, there’s a strength of a wall that you could break through and survive while being only injured to some degree.
