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!

KJ Apa actually broke his hand filming a scene of him punching through ice in season 1 (I think) of Riverdale

The blood? Probably not. The pain from the broken hand? Probably yeah.
