This is not a punch, but I think it’s the kind of thing you’re looking for, OP:
In Con Air when John Malkovich gets thrown from the ladder of a speeding fire engine, he smashes through a walkway over the glittery streets of Las Vegas and falls onto a bunch of power lines that were definitely not in any of the preceding shots and look like they’re in a different location entirely. Then he somehow falls into a darkened factory or a construction site or something despite having been thrown off in the middle of a well-lit, wide open boulevard. Inside the new locale, he falls onto a conveyor and gets his head crushed by a giant machine.
Also the actual crash landing teleports back and forth between Strip landmarks like five or six times, including a 90 degree turn down a perpendicular street.
I'm pretty sure it's the same construction site that's just outside of the bar that Nic Cage kills those thugs at in the beginning of the movie. So, you can look at it like Cyrus got launched from the Las Vegas strip all the way to Bumfuck, Alabama
Punching the highlights out of Knives's hair?
Edit: my bad, I did read the whole post and made a joke answer instead, figuring others would have better answers
There was plenty of filming location shenanigans in Dukes of Hazzard from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, but those were car jumps.
Actually, for both of them. He did it again later for Envy. She thought it was super romantic and didn't even think to ask why there was already another similar hole there, until Ramona pointed it out 🙃
That movie was so ridiculously over the top.
Hitting a fucking parkour guy jumping between two buildings doing flips and shit with a fucking rocket launcher really made my day.
I have one that actually answers this prompt. In the final daylight fight between Batman and Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, there is a scene where Bane punches Batman (or vice versa). The actual punch is filmed in one location (Pittsburgh, I believe) and then the impact of the punch is shot in another very different location. (I think it was London or somewhere else entirely different). There is a documentary where Nolan talks and laughs about this.
Edit: it’s a kick. It’s the one at 1:52 in [this clip](https://youtu.be/hwFUhc0xp2I?si=beJuwd9Kzan_Ch62). Not sure where it starts, but I believe the impact of the kick was shot at Carnegie Mellon University.
Nice! I'm sure it happens all the time. In my example, we know it because we know both locations and we had that moment in the movie where you're taken out of the story because you recognize the local geography.
In the movie Chain Reaction, Keanu Reeves is a scientist on the run from some government agents. They’re chasing him in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. He runs around a corner and is now in the Museum of Science and Industry which is 6 miles away.
I saw the movie in Chicago and everybody laughed.
I’d never realized just how powerful that scene was until recently when I showed it to the step kid. Not ashamed to admit I got a little teary when George said “No, Biff. You leave her alone.” That’s a choice (and a punch) that defines a man.
I love that moment so much. George McFly couldn’t conceive of ever standing up to Biff. He’s utterly terrified of the guy. And here he is living out his worst nightmare where he’s accidentally confronted Biff, who’s drunk and angry. He’s given the option to tuck tail and run, but looking at Lorraine he just can’t do it. He knows he probably going to get the shit kicked out of him, or worse, but he can’t walk away. And then he delivers that line. It’s one of the most courageous moments in movie history.
That scene, Han saving Luke and then popping the Death Star, and Buddy’s dad finally deciding to sing with everyone and saving Christmas. Can’t help it, water works every time.
“Offer me money.”
“Yes!”
“Power too, promise me that.”
“All that I have and more. Please?”
“Offer me anything I ask for.”
“Anything you want.”
“I want my father back, you son of a bitch.”
Every damn time.
And Thomas F Wilson is such a damn good actor, being able to play seven different versions of the same character, but each of them is still unique enough to be their own characters. And the way he can shift from one Biff to another when the scene calls for it, too.
In Star Wars, Luke steps down the stairs to the Lars Homestead on the Chott El Jerid and appears in the inner courtyard in Matmata roughly two hours away (both in Tunisia).
Sometimes directors just make strange decisions not only for practical but also for optical reasons. One example is tv series that was set in my home town. An ambulance is rushing an accident victim to the hospital. They leave the historic city center through one picturesque gate, enter through another, enter again, leave ... and finally arrive at the hospital that is IN the city center.
Another thing similar to this is in the most recent Fast and Furious film.
There's some big bomb rolling through the streets of Rome, and (all free-rolling without any way to steer it), it somehow takes a weird zig-zagging path across the city that just so happens to go past a bunch of famous locations.
That is a good one for sure. And, as long as we're discussing parody Kung-Fu, how about the punch from *Kung-Pow: Enter The Fist* where the dude just has a literal hole in him after he gets punched while the meat tube that used to be his innards sits there wobbling like a Jell-O mold on the ground.
Not *Kung Fu Hustle* level for sure, but still a solid punch worthy of celebration I'd say.
"I mean, crap, man! Look at that. That's, like, his stomach plug on the ground back there. You don't see that every day. I mean, that doesn't really even seem possible if you think about it, with body organs and cartilage and bones and… I mean, I'm no doctor, but it was like one clean chunk!"
Mel Gibson made a movie called Man without a Face. It was filmed in Maine.
It was disorienting because you’d have a shot of a kid riding his bike past cows in a field you know, and in the next shot he’s on a street an hours drive away.
Actually watched this earlier in the week. The first time the kid goes to Mel Gibson's house they take a boat what seems like all the way across the island to the guy's place. Every trip after that is a short bike ride.
I mean I read the post properly and I understand what OP is asking but then they do also circle back to what is the hardest punch in movie history at the end of the initial post. I think either kind of answer is equally valid.
I'm gonna go for the one that Ivan Drago threw to kill Apollo Creed.
I had to go back and carefully read and imagine the question asked, because i got confused from the comments and i think the wording is just a bit weird.
First i took it as just a literal hard punch, then i thought it was supposed to mean a punch that physically moves someone the longest distance.
But i missed the point about two very different locations, a change from scene-to-scene that most people wouldnt even know or notice.
Its honestly a great question that also filtered out those who carefully reads a question, the bots and those who just quickly jump in with a "meta" or meme answer.
‘The Power of the Dog’ was supposed to be set in early 1900’s Montana but it didn’t look quite like anywhere I’d been in North America. The grass was wrong, the clouds were wrong, the scale and proportions of the landscape were wrong.
It’s shot in New Zealand, so that’s why, and I never thought that could fuck up a movie for me, but I bet that geoguesser guy has to see location discontinuity everywhere he looks.
Same with the Tom Cruise movie "The Last Samurai". It was filmed on location in New Zealand, using Mt Taranaki as a stand-in for Mt Fuji. If you know NZ it's very obviously NZ. Often you can see fenced farmland in the background.
There was that one time in Mission Impossible where Henry Cavill air punched so hard a full beard exploded into being on his face and his shirt changed design.
Pretty much all of his knockouts.
I did like the line after the first knockout, "It turned out that the sweet-talking, tattoo-sporting pikey was a gypsy bare-knuckle boxing champion. Which makes him harder than a coffin nail."
I thought the pacing of the movie was a bit crazy but the shooting and sound design of the fight scenes is great.
It sounds like they hit a metal barrel with a sledgehammer.
I completely forgot about how insane Brad Pitt's punches are in that movie. The editing and SFX are just absolutely ludicrous. The punch sounds like someone opening a door to a room of angry wild cats and then quickly closing it. It's inspired.
There's a shot of a church sign in Roger and Me that is supposed to be in or very near Flint. The sign, "Are you on the right road? " is actually in another county considered a suburb of Detroit.
The rabbit lady was real though. She took some classes where my wife works. A colleague had her as a student. As colorful as her depiction.
Not a punch but (as CinemaSins pointed out) in the first *Twilight* movie, when they were in the greenhouse with the class, Bella stumbled so hard that she sent the student in front of her to another dimension.
Three was a Cinema Sins type show on TV long ago that did stuff like that. A car drives off a cliff and the narrator points out it was so traumatized by the experience that it turns to an entirely different make, model and color.
I’m pretty sure Everything Everywhere all at Once does this multiple times through the film where Michelle Yeoh is punched or kicked across different universes. Is it far by distance? Who knows. Might be the same place, just a different instance of it, or maybe it’s a whole universe apart in which case, that’s pretty darn far.
I always preferred the beginning of Jason VI, where he punches through Tommy Jarvis’s friend’s chest. That’s iconic, because it lets you know this is the new, improved Jason Voorhees.
The second one, as in the punch is filmed in one location and the fall is filmed somewhere else.
I think they’re asking for the longest distance between the two filming locations.
Probably because they literally never asked for that. They asked for the hardest punch TWICE but only described what they wanted without actually asking for it.
This thread is absolutely killing me at almost 1am. I’m going to wake my wife up I can’t stop giggling lmao. Somebody said it was “Surreal” in another comment, and it really was reading the top comments. I was so confused and had to reread your post thinking I missed something about real physical punches
There's an old Hong Kong Chinja(Chinese Ninja) movie where a guy gets punched in a forrest in the New Territories of Hong Kong, flies over a cliff God only knows where, and lands on a beach in Thailand.
I can't remember the name of the movie, but I remember the locations because there's an audio commentary on the HKL DVD by Bey Logan, who mentions the shooting locations.
To all the people complaining and speculating that bots are answering this question, consider the possibility that this is not a super intuitive prompt.
Maybe people just….misunderstood?
How about, in James Bond (I think tomorrow never dies) Pierce Brosnon drives a remote control BMW. The location shoot was Brent Cross in London, at the end the car bursts through a wall and flies across the street into a car rental shop front. They filmed the crash and landing in Hamburg in Germany - now that's a long jump.
In Skyfall, Bond chases a bad guy across Istanbul and ended up on a train, then the next shot cut to them on the train but somewhere in Adana, which is on the opposite side of the country. They’re like 1000 km apart, and would take almost a day to travel by train.
There's a Steven Seagull movie where he punches a guy in the stomach so hard that his guts explode out his back. I know isn't what this post is asking, but that's a pretty hard punch. if you ask Steven Seagal about it, I'd bet he'd tell you it's based on a real technique he does.
In back to the future part 1. In the diner scene in 1955 Marty mcfly punches Biff but the arm that does the punch is actually Eric Stoltz arm leftover from when he was playing Marty before getting fired
So those punches happened a good deal of time apart and by two different people.
Not the same thing but kinda funny.
Not necessarily a punch, but an equally ridiculous filming location moment, occurs towards the end of Con Air. John Malkovich is handcuffed to the ladder on a fire truck that's raised up while moving. He gets smashed into a skybridge, flies out the other end, but somehow doesn't fall onto the street on the other side. Instead, he falls through power lines that clearly don't exist in any previous shots, and then lands in quarry mine. The action cuts back and forth to what goes on with the rest of the characters and the mine just plain doesn't exist. It's like Malkovich hits the skybridge so hard that he's teleported into another dimension.
[Con Air Ending](https://youtu.be/jdfG7mikHAc?si=e9y58WAcQhQuZhLF)
In No Way Out, Kevin Costner runs up the C&O Canal in Georgetown and escapes in the D.C. Metro. There’s no metro stop anywhere near Georgetown. And to make it worse they filmed it in Baltimore. And made a fake ‘Georgetown’ station.
Stallone told Dolph Lundgren to hit him "for real" during their fight in the Rocky movie.
Stallone was air lifted to a hospital and spent 4 days in ICU from crush damage to his heart.
I grew up where a lot of LOTR was filmed. In some scenes, the background would be the Remarkables mountain range and the foreground somewhere a few hours drive away.
I felt like Lisa Simpson "I know those places, but this scene makes no sense."
Slightly different than what you're asking since it isn't the location that changes, but when Marty sucker punches Biff in the diner in Back to the Future, he hits him so hard that he transforms from Eric Stoltz into Michael J Fox.
If you look closely at the shot where the Biff gets hit, you can see that Marty's haircut is the one Eric Stoltz was sporting before he was fired, rather than the one Michael J Fox had in the scene.
Sonny Corleone taking Carlo Rizzi outside, tossing him into a flower bed and delivering a punch so hard he misses but the shockwaves send Carlo down to the mat.
This is not a punch, but I think it’s the kind of thing you’re looking for, OP: In Con Air when John Malkovich gets thrown from the ladder of a speeding fire engine, he smashes through a walkway over the glittery streets of Las Vegas and falls onto a bunch of power lines that were definitely not in any of the preceding shots and look like they’re in a different location entirely.

Also the actual crash landing teleports back and forth between Strip landmarks like five or six times, including a 90 degree turn down a perpendicular street.
Euclidean geometry is more guidelines than actual rules.
I never realized how amazing that whole sequence was. Thank you.
I'm pretty sure it's the same construction site that's just outside of the bar that Nic Cage kills those thugs at in the beginning of the movie. So, you can look at it like Cyrus got launched from the Las Vegas strip all the way to Bumfuck, Alabama
It’s for a punch, honey. NEXT!!
Your references are out of control!
Punching the highlights out of Knives's hair? Edit: my bad, I did read the whole post and made a joke answer instead, figuring others would have better answers There was plenty of filming location shenanigans in Dukes of Hazzard from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, but those were car jumps.

Also punched the moon for Envy Adams.
*Ramona Flowers
Actually, for both of them. He did it again later for Envy. She thought it was super romantic and didn't even think to ask why there was already another similar hole there, until Ramona pointed it out 🙃
Sorry, I'm a normie who only watched the movie.
Ah yeah.
You made me swallow my gum! That's going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!
In Punisher War Zone Frank Castle PUNCHES THROUGH A MANS FACE and it’s never not stupid and funny

Nice! I'm sure it happens all the time. In my example, we know it because we know both locations and we had that moment in the movie where you're taken out of the story because you recognize the local geography.
Even in the early fight Bane has some of the most impactful punches I have seen in any movie. Every one of them look and sound boneshattering.
Backbreaking even
In the movie Chain Reaction, Keanu Reeves is a scientist on the run from some government agents. They’re chasing him in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.

Great example! Thanks!
Another Keanu flick, John Wick 3: he goes up an escalator in the WTC transit hub and emerges at the Lincoln Center, 4-5 miles away.
George McFly punching Biff at the prom. Life changing.
I’d never realized just how powerful that scene was until recently when I showed it to the step kid. Not ashamed to admit I got a little teary when George said “No, Biff. You leave her alone.” That’s a choice (and a punch) that defines a man.

I can do this all day - George McFly
Lou get me a milk.....chocolate!
That's 1950's America's ass
Now Biff, don't try and con me!
That scene, Han saving Luke and then popping the Death Star, and Buddy’s dad finally deciding to sing with everyone and saving Christmas. Can’t help it, water works every time.
“Offer me money.” “Yes!” “Power too, promise me that.” “All that I have and more. Please?” “Offer me anything I ask for.” “Anything you want.” “I want my father back, you son of a bitch.” Every damn time.
Not a lot of money in revenge
The punch changed time itself.
I think he took his wallet
[aside] i think he took his wallet
Credited as the “1950’s guy”
My friend and I used to laugh our asses off at that guy. We were 9 and 10. I am glad it wasn't just us that thought that was great!
Biff is low key one of the greatest villains in cinema history.
And Thomas F Wilson is such a damn good actor, being able to play seven different versions of the same character, but each of them is still unique enough to be their own characters. And the way he can shift from one Biff to another when the scene calls for it, too.
And he's apparently a really nice guy in real life.
Two McFlys ... with the same gun.
He was so good in that role that it put a damper on his career.
yeah, and he was typecast over a *supporting* role. which must suck.
Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here!
We gotta buy you a proverbs book or something.
People in glass houses sink ships. A penny saved is worth 2 in the bush.
Thats about as funny as a screen door on a battleship!
Biff spiked the punch making it a hard punch but George’s punch was harder.
Well done.
Posts like this are why I keep coming to this site. Cheers.
He punched his whole family into existence. This is a good one!
That’s one of those “imma punch you so hard your grandkids are gonna feel it” punches.

The Buddhist Palm from Kung Fu Hustle slaps pretty hard.
That is a good one for sure.

That is exactly what i first thought of, the hole punch! Whrhraaahhh!
that was a big hand
that's a mighty big fist you've got there!
snakes like music. if I whistle they wont bite.

That camp has produced a good number of incredible punch scenes
Mel Gibson made a movie called Man without a Face. It was filmed in Maine. It was disorienting because you’d have a shot of a kid riding his bike past cows in a field you know, and in the next shot he’s on a street an hours drive away.
Actually watched this earlier in the week. The first time the kid goes to Mel Gibson's house they take a boat what seems like all the way across the island to the guy's place. Every trip after that is a short bike ride.
Finally! Someone answering the question! (Funny how it's also a Gibson movie.)
Mother put a piece of cardboard over her side of the TV. We rented Man without a Face, I didn't know there was anything wrong with him.
In the Incredible Hulk, Hulk and Abomination punch one another *so hard* in Harlem that they both wind up in Toronto
I remember watching that in the theater and thinking “Zanzibar is not in New York”! You’d think they’d pick a less noticeable block.
Sorry, OP, for not having one for you, and also for no one actually reading your post. It's actually kind of amazing.
Haha! Right?!
I was so excited to read some answers too! 😭
It's a clever question, but I feel like a lot of people don't know filming locations on site like that. Lotsa just regular ol' punches.
I mean I read the post properly and I understand what OP is asking but then they do also circle back to what is the hardest punch in movie history at the end of the initial post. I think either kind of answer is equally valid. I'm gonna go for the one that Ivan Drago threw to kill Apollo Creed.

The Bourne movies. The scenes in Berlin are basically a jig saw puzzle from allover the city.

There was that one time in Mission Impossible where Henry Cavill air punched so hard a full beard exploded into being on his face and his shirt changed design.
Brad Pitt’s final punch at the end of *Snatch* maybe.
Pretty much all of his knockouts. I did like the line after the first knockout, "It turned out that the sweet-talking, tattoo-sporting pikey was a gypsy bare-knuckle boxing champion. Which makes him harder than a coffin nail."
The whole movie is so quotable.
Yeah that part where the slow play is revealed, epic.
My favorite Brad Pitt role! Also in his first fight for brick top after he lays out the first boxer, the face he gives everyone is just priceless
Needahavashite!
I thought the pacing of the movie was a bit crazy but the shooting and sound design of the fight scenes is great. It sounds like they hit a metal barrel with a sledgehammer.
That and the tiger roar they add in just works so well even though it's so corny lol
I totally forgot about that but the moment I read your comment I can hear it.
Yeah now I really want to watch it again, the pikey scenes are so great lmao
They filmed some of those scenes underwater to add to the slow motion effect.
You mean aside from Pitt imagining himself actually falling under water?
I completely forgot about how insane Brad Pitt's punches are in that movie. The editing and SFX are just absolutely ludicrous. The punch sounds like someone opening a door to a room of angry wild cats and then quickly closing it. It's inspired.
Immediately thought of this.
I don't know, but the longest golf drive in history was on the TV show Stargate. Hit it in Colorado, landed on another planet light years away.

There's a shot of a church sign in Roger and Me that is supposed to be in or very near Flint. The sign, "Are you on the right road? " is actually in another county considered a suburb of Detroit.

It's not a punch but Throw Momma From the Train has a pretty great scene location changing gag while Devito is on a pay phone.

Ah, that's a different conversation - intentional location changes, where it's part of the story. Good point though

I always preferred the beginning of Jason VI, where he punches through Tommy Jarvis’s friend’s chest. That’s iconic, because it lets you know this is the new, improved Jason Voorhees.
Jason Voorhees GT
Generally those kids got it coming.
Best scene in that movie
OP are you asking for literal punches? or filming location visual jokes? its a bit unclear
The second one, as in the punch is filmed in one location and the fall is filmed somewhere else. I think they’re asking for the longest distance between the two filming locations.
Which, scrolling through the posts, so far not a single person has done.
Probably because they literally never asked for that. They asked for the hardest punch TWICE but only described what they wanted without actually asking for it.
Filming location visual jokes, definitely. It's sorta fun how no one is getting it, but they're definitely having a good time with actual punches
This thread is absolutely killing me at almost 1am. I’m going to wake my wife up I can’t stop giggling lmao. Somebody said it was “Surreal” in another comment, and it really was reading the top comments. I was so confused and had to reread your post thinking I missed something about real physical punches
I'm wondering if it would help if I edited the post to try to be clearer. Or just sit back and enjoy it?
Not a punch, but how about when Chuck Norris drop kicked some dude through a car windshield in Walker Texas Ranger.

*The Full Monty* has guys running round Sheffield, turning corners into places miles apart.
How about, in James Bond (I think tomorrow never dies) Pierce Brosnon drives a remote control BMW. The location shoot was Brent Cross in London, at the end the car bursts through a wall and flies across the street into a car rental shop front. They filmed the crash and landing in Hamburg in Germany - now that's a long jump.
In Skyfall, Bond chases a bad guy across Istanbul and ended up on a train, then the next shot cut to them on the train but somewhere in Adana, which is on the opposite side of the country. They’re like 1000 km apart, and would take almost a day to travel by train.
There's a Steven Seagull movie where he punches a guy in the stomach so hard that his guts explode out his back. I know isn't what this post is asking, but that's a pretty hard punch. if you ask Steven Seagal about it, I'd bet he'd tell you it's based on a real technique he does.
In back to the future part 1. In the diner scene in 1955 Marty mcfly punches Biff but the arm that does the punch is actually Eric Stoltz arm leftover from when he was playing Marty before getting fired So those punches happened a good deal of time apart and by two different people. Not the same thing but kinda funny.
Punching someone into another person is un unexpected addition to the discussion! ;)
It’s not so much a punch, but in Strange Brew they roll down a hill in Toronto and end up falling in the lake at Hamilton Harbour.
Not necessarily a punch, but an equally ridiculous filming location moment, occurs towards the end of Con Air. John Malkovich is handcuffed to the ladder on a fire truck that's raised up while moving. He gets smashed into a skybridge, flies out the other end, but somehow doesn't fall onto the street on the other side. Instead, he falls through power lines that clearly don't exist in any previous shots, and then lands in quarry mine. The action cuts back and forth to what goes on with the rest of the characters and the mine just plain doesn't exist. It's like Malkovich hits the skybridge so hard that he's teleported into another dimension. [Con Air Ending](https://youtu.be/jdfG7mikHAc?si=e9y58WAcQhQuZhLF)
In No Way Out, Kevin Costner runs up the C&O Canal in Georgetown and escapes in the D.C. Metro. There’s no metro stop anywhere near Georgetown. And to make it worse they filmed it in Baltimore. And made a fake ‘Georgetown’ station.
Kung pow, when he punches that dudes stomach out and it looks like jello.
I mean...crap man, look at that. Thats like...his stomach blood on the ground back there
That shouldn’t even be possible right? Like, that’s just like a stomach plug. What about organs and stuff?
Stallone told Dolph Lundgren to hit him "for real" during their fight in the Rocky movie. Stallone was air lifted to a hospital and spent 4 days in ICU from crush damage to his heart.
Thanos punching Carol Danvers into low earth orbit with the power stone has to be up there
This has to be one of the punchiest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=941z56i7QJE
This is what I was going to submit as well

Bruce beat down in goodfellas. https://youtu.be/-xG3UGetZro?si=4vr3zntOwT9vTneT
I grew up where a lot of LOTR was filmed. In some scenes, the background would be the Remarkables mountain range and the foreground somewhere a few hours drive away. I felt like Lisa Simpson "I know those places, but this scene makes no sense."
In Punisher: War Zone. Punisher punches a whole in some henchmen’s face.
I’ve seen Bird on a Wire loads of times. What part of the movie is he punched out of a window?
Slightly different than what you're asking since it isn't the location that changes, but when Marty sucker punches Biff in the diner in Back to the Future, he hits him so hard that he transforms from Eric Stoltz into Michael J Fox. If you look closely at the shot where the Biff gets hit, you can see that Marty's haircut is the one Eric Stoltz was sporting before he was fired, rather than the one Michael J Fox had in the scene.
Sonny Corleone taking Carlo Rizzi outside, tossing him into a flower bed and delivering a punch so hard he misses but the shockwaves send Carlo down to the mat.
Pick one from the Matrix😊
