Things people only do in the movies?

This is probably going to date me, as in show my age, but people who engage in fistfights and walk away from them, win or lose, with teeth intact, jaw unbroken, no brain trauma whatsoever, good hearing, eyesight, even after a nasty poke causes some bleeding, and are ready to go to work the next day looking like a million bucks. This is not real life. Fighting hurts, especially the kind they show in the movies,--I'm not talking about fun among friends or ritualized brawling in which one almost can't get seriously hurt--I did stuff like that as a kid fairly often. That comes, or used to come, with the territory of being a boy. No, I mean breaking furniture and glass, a fight continuing into fire escapes and rooftops, swamps and other inhospitable places.
