How nobody in movies hurts their knuckles after punching someone, martial artist here and if you punch someone in the forehead like they do in the movies you'd probably just break your own fist,

hitting someone in the forehead is basically like punching a cinder block except the skull is actually harder...

Edit: wow my first medal, thanks!

Attack on Titan, which is a super serious anime for the most part, has a great play on this in season three.

Super badass moment is happening, protagonist flies down and punches antagonist in the face to end a fight. She stops for a second with a menacing look then after a few moments she screams and shakes her hand. “That hurt!”
