History Main / PunchedAcrossTheRoom

* A lethal version occurs in ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' when a protagonist taunting and distracting Freddy [[LookBehindYou turns around]] to see Jason standing right behind her. Cue her getting punched right into a tree with a big crunch.

* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'': Indiana's HesBack moment where he punches a slaver so hard he slides along the floor a good distance.

* Will Smith tends to suffer this a lot in his movies: it occurred in both ''Film/IRobot'' and ''Film/MenInBlackII''. Technically it also occurred in ''Film/{{Hancock}}'', but that [[FlyingBrick doesn't really count]].
* Pretty much every {{Franchise/Terminator}} ever made will do this to someone/something at least once.

Sometimes, the MonsterOfTheWeek is too busy throwing the hero around to JustHitHim. May lead into a MeteorMove. When played for humor, often results in ThePratfall.

** Touma Kamijou often launches people through the air when he punches them, especially if he gets a running or jumping start. The punchee sometimes makes a crater on landing. Taken to the extreme when he punches [[spoiler:Princess Carissa]] after getting a warm up from being used as a FastballSpecial by [[spoiler:Acqua of the Back]], where his punch not only breaks her weapon, but hits her in the face so hard she goes flying ''clean through part of the wrecked Buckingham Palace'' and ''lands several kilometers away''.

* ''Anime/{{Charlotte}}'': Nao is subjected to this in episode 11, when some rogue ability users attack her in her apartment at night. She is hit rather hard, and is knocked out by said punch.
* A male-on-female example in ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'' Despair Arc. Hajime Hinata, in his alternate identity as Izuru Kamakura backhanded Mukuro Ikusaba which sent her flying and hitting a wall after he had knocked her sister Junko Enoshima to the floor and stepped on her. His actions were justified since he was defending himself from both Junko's and Mukuro's attempted assaults.

* In ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'', [[SuperStrength Shizuo]] throws a punch that's not only strong enough to throw a man down the street, but also [[http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2690/drrr3mp4001121195.gif rip him out of his clothes]].

* This happens to ''Manga/InuYasha'''s title chracter all the time, although usually the "breakable" thing he slams into [[MadeOfIron is a]] ''[[NighInvulnerable cliff]]''.

** A comedic example that happens ''to'' Luffy is in the Drum Island arc, when he suggests chucking a barrel of cold water on a then-ill Nami to make her fever drop. Vivi and Sanji weren't amused, and promptly sent him flying to the other side of the room before casually resuming their conversation.

** Luffy demonstrates Gear Fourth by decking Doflamingo hard enough to send him to the city center. The actual punch happened in a castle ''outside the city entirely''. Several of Luffy's Gear Fourth attacks continue to send him flying across the city, until his final attack sends him crashing underground.
** Luffy defeats Charlotte Cracker this way using his Gomu Gomu no Cannonball technique. He sends Cracker plowing thought the remaining [[{{mooks}} biscuit soldiers]], the [[TheLostWoods Seducing Woods]] and all the way to Sweet City, the capital of Whole Cake Island several miles from where the fight was taking place. Once they find him, Cracker's siblings become terrified to learn he had come from so far away.

*** Sanji sends Queen flying across a hallway with Hell Memories, but fails to finish him off because of Queen's thick dinosaur hide. Then he [[spoiler:upgrades Diable Jambe to Ifrit Jambe]] and kicks him again, this time sending Queen flying ''across the entirety of Onigashima''.

* ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'': Over the course of the series, distance gradually increases from punches across the room to punches across the town, to punches across continent -- and even this was proven to not be the limit, when titular character punched [[spoiler:[[BigBad Acacia]]]] so hard, that he ''circled the planet''. In fact, [[TheParalyzer Jiro]] sometimes disposes of tough enemies, by simply ''uppercutting them into space''.

* In the preliminaries of the Demon World Unification Tournament in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', Yusuke punches all his opponents into the sky and out of the arena. While the objective was to remove the opponents' rings, either by making them say the number or killing them and removing the ring, all of Yusuke's opponents are disqualified by ring-out and he wins. Younger Toguro punches [[spoiler:his own brother]] high into the sky, far away from Hanging Neck Island to [[spoiler:prevent him from interfering with his fight]]. Younger Toguro can also punch the ground to rip up huge sections of it; in the English dub this is attributing to him releasing demon energy out through his punch for extra damage, but the Japanese original has him attribute to the ''air pressure'' created by the force of his attacks.

* ''Manga/ZatchBell'': A fight involved Kiyomaro and Gash fighting against a man with a mother who had died, Shinichi, and his demon, a snotty self-proclaimed elite named Eshros. At one point in the fight, Kiyomaro gets so sick of Eshros manipulating Shinichi's love of his mother that he punches him across the room (or in this case, the schoolyard where they were fighting). He then says he just wants to beat the crap out of this guy.

* ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'': Daredevil does this a lot. But since he's street level weight class, he's limited to literally knocking people across rooms. Still impressive in its own right.
* In the 1980s parody comic ''DESTROY!!'', the Red Basher goes berserk and demolishes Manhattan. When Captain Maximum tries to stop him, he ticks off the Red Basher so much that he winds up his famous "Big Bang" punch -- which sends Captain Maximum all the way to the moon.
* ''ComicBook/DoubleDuck'': The first time we see Agency's hand-to-hand combat instructor Bruce Wong, he announces Donald he'll fake hitting him with a punch and then ''kicks'' him across the gym.

** Characters are also prone to kick others in the same way. One example: Filemón is almost dead after being shot in the stomach, and is on a wheelchair. The Súper (who was the indirect cause of him being shot) asks him how he is. The next frame has the Súper with a shoe-mark on his back after having landed on an igloo, asking himself how it could happen.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko'' #8, Peter and Flash Thompson, still hated enemies, have a boxing match. Peter's worried because he knows he could actually ''kill'' Flash with his spider-strength, so he decides to throw a punch but stop at the last instant and only hit Flash by flicking his fist at the wrist. That's ''still'' enough to send Flash flying out of the boxing ring, but because something distracted Flash just before the "punch" landed, [[ButtMonkey everyone blames Peter]] for knocking Flash out when he wasn't looking.

** Superman has even been on the receiving end of a such attack by ComicBook/{{Etrigan}}. The demon uppercutted him so hard, he went from the surface of the ground and smashed into the Moon.

** In ''ComicBook/KryptonNoMore'', Kara slugs her cousin when he refuses to help the Xonn. She hits him so hard than he goes flying and crashes into a wall.

** In ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'', the titular character getting punched through a city becomes a sort of gag: firstly, Bizarrogirl punches Supergirl through a sewer's ceiling and into a building. Then Supergirl extricates herself from the wall, looks for Bizarrogirl and punches her out of Metropolis. Later, Bizarrogirl got tail-whipped across Bizarro Metropolis by a [[PlanetEater Godship]]'s supplicant. Also, Godship threw Supergirl ''through the planet'' when she approached him.

** In ''ComicBook/StrangersAtTheHeartsCore'', villain Klax-Ar engages Supergirl in New York City. She punches him so hard he crashes in the town of Midvale (which according some stories, was located in Illinois).
** In ''ComicBook/SupermanVsShazam'', Captain Marvel punches Superman so hard than he flies over several states.

** In ''ComicBook/ThePlagueOfTheAntibioticMan'', Nam-Ek punches Flash into orbit by accident. Seconds later, Superman punches Nam-Ek and sends him hurtling over half America and the Caribbean Sea.

* In ''Fanfic/TheGoodHunter'', one of the nobles who are harassing Sasha Fullmoon's orphanage in Chapter 2 is struck on the head from Cyril's punch. He is then sent flying via a second punch. Does the victim come out unharmed? [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome No, he later ends up in a coma]].
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fanfic ''[[Fanfic/KingdomHeartsTheAntipode The Antipode]]'': In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/1944492/chapters/96884385 Side Stories: Another Night on Grandship]]'', [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] insults [[Series/TheMuppetShow Miss Piggy]], who responds by punching him through a table. This is referenced in the main story where a table with a distinctly man-shaped dent is shown in the tavern. A man-shaped dent that was, in Gaston's pailkiller-addled words, "roughly the size of a barge."

* ''FanFic/RWBYReckoning'' showed this when a [[FullBoarAction Boarbatusk]] broke loose in Professor Port's class, and tried to kill Darrel. He ends the conflict by socking it with an Aura-powered punch that blows the Grimm through four walls.
* In ''Fanfic/SupermanAndMan'' fic a real world person swaps bodies with Franchise/{{Superman}} and gets forced into a fight against ComicBook/LexLuthor. At one point he punches Luthor across the street. Accidentally.

* ''Fanfic/TheLastDaughter'' has Taylor (a [[AdaptationSpeciesChange Kryptonian]]) fight Behemoth, who has complete control over all types of energy. The fight quickly devolves into them trading these to little effect. At one point Behemoth punches her so hard that she flies from Paris to Portugal. Taylor later returns the favor by hitting him so hard that it create a nuclear reaction every time she punches him.

* This is the usual result of Izuku's 5% Beacon Smashes in ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'', often knocking mooks into other mooks. This gets lampshaded in-story.

* In ''Fanfic/AnotherRealm'', Krogan, especially Krogan biotics, tend to do this to anyone they hit. Broken bones and a concussion are typically a best case scenario for the person hit. Cieran requires cybernetic repairs and sub-dermal armor to keep his ribs together after his fight with Ganar Yulaz where he was seriously struck once.

* In the 2007 movie version of ''Literature/BridgeToTerabithia'', Jesse gives to the kid sitting behind him in the classroom a punch that projects the latter against the wall, in response to a very cruel joke said kid told just before.

* In the kung-fu film ''Film/SecretServiceOfTheImperialCourt'', the villain, [[EunuchsAreEvil an evil Eunuch]], gets warned by a minister on his dictatorial policies right in his face. Not impressed, the Eunuch responds by delivering a slap across the minister's face... that results in the latter getting Slapped Across the Room. Landing with enough impact to actually kill him.

* In ''Literature/DoubleElimination'', this is Heavyweight's preferred method of handling close range opponents.

* Invoked by Niles on ''Series/{{Frasier}}'', who riles up a guy threatening to charge Frasier with assault until he gives Niles a [[FingerPokeOfDoom light poke in the chest]]. Cue a wild, over-the-top and attention-grabbing {{pratfall}} that takes several coffee tables out with it... and when Frasier goes to help him up, he whispers, "Countersuit!"

** A feat available to Large or larger creatures in some version of the game. Unsurprisingly, you can optimise your character for this, comboing your hitting damage with their hitting the wall damage multiple times per turn.
** From the ''Tome of Battle – Book of Nine Swords'' supplement, several maneuvers allows this, especially from the Setting Sun discipline. Though some are less punching and more "grab and throw", including a HumanHammerThrow.

* Jecht punches Tidus like this in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. Right after literally shrugging off a sword-slice to the chest.

* ''VideoGame/DynamiteDuke'': The titular character's right hand is a mechanical PowerFist, and if fighting enemies from up close, can execute a punch that sends them from the foreground to the back. This attack deals more damage on bosses as well, and is preferable when used against the agile McNinja boss who attacks Duke from up close.
* ''VideoGame/ExtrapowerGiantFist'': Zophy, Wolf and Power King are all capable of doing this to anyone they face.

* ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'': The Tank hits the survivors so hard they go flying. This is can end badly if you happen to be standing on a building or a cliff, to say the least. Meanwhile, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03BhXOYM6h0 this video]] shows that doing a jumping melee against a pouncing Hunter will send it flying back. In fact, one of the Steam Achievements (or Xbox achievements, whichever system you're on) is to hit a Hunter with a melee attack just before it lands on you. It literally stops the Hunter dead in its tracks, and if it's a player in Versus, they usually have no idea what just happened and are easily killed. The achievement is appropriately called Dead Stop.

** A gimmick weapon, the spring-loaded hammer, deals little damage, but has increased knockback -- landing a successful four-strike combo with it will send monsters flying and then ragdolling several times father than other weapons will, allowing the players to do things like send them flying off of cliffsides and to their doom.

** The same applies for the ''[[VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' [[FightingGame Fighting Games]] (which were also developed by Creator/{{Capcom}}), but only the "flying across the stage" type is featured in them.

* ''VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo'' in an extened level Smith does this to Neo in a cutscene. It ends up sending him flying through a concrete wall.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManXCommandMission'' has a memorable cutscene where [[FakeUltimateHero Steel Massimo]] was cruelly mocked by the sadistic [[FatBastard Silver Horns]], a tank-sized Triceratops. After the latter gloats at length about his ColdBloodedTorture of Massimo's mentor, the original Steel Massimo, his response is to [[TalkToTheFist belt Silver Horns sqaure in the gut while he's busy laughing mockingly]], sending him flying back across his boss room.

* The Knockback enchantment in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' gives your sword attack an extra kick by pushing your enemy backwards a lot farther than normal. At level 3, you can effectively push enemies beyond a 20 block distance from you, making it every effective to keep Creepers away from you so they don't explode or if you want to push enemies off a cliff.

* Tsukika Izayoi of ''VideoGame/MugenSouls'' series has a habit of unintentionally doing this to people, especially the person she cares about the most,Shirogane. She is well aware of this, and being a YamatoNadeshiko in all but marriage, her incredible strength actually is a source of depression for her. Oddly, this is included in her gameplay too. She has the highest strength and is the only character that gains a passive to the Blast Off effect, which is a mechanic to launch an enemy across the battlefield.

** If you use the Lighter Gravity and Milk Bones cheat, and perform pretty much any move on someone, be it with a chair, sledge hammer, or the sole of your foot, you will send your victim ''flying, floating, and falling'' into the ocean on the other side of the island.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'''s Heavy landing a CriticalHit with his fists can send opponents (or rather their corpses) across a room. The Gunslinger (a prosthetic robot hand) landing its three hit combo can get even more ridiculous, sending the unfortunate person's ragdoll shooting off into whatever direction the Engineer was aiming at the time, even if it's ten feet up in the air.

* ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'' has this happen frequently (replace room with street, field, riverbank etc as necessary).

** Yang Xiao Long uses [[MixAndMatchWeapon shotgun gauntlets]] and has SuperStrength which means she can easily punch her opponents across large spaces. She first does it in the Yellow Trailer, and usually does it at dramatic or power-up moments in battle. On one occasion, her ability is PlayedForLaughs to send a stranger bouncing out of a fuel station like a ping-pong ball when he tries [[NobodyTouchesTheHair touching hair]].

* Jimmy from ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' has a ''fierce'' right hook. In the pool hall he hits a student hard enough to send them rocketing into one of the pool tables. When he fights Gerard he punches him hard enough that the air around him spins as he falls to the ground.

** ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'': Lobo does this to Superman at one point, and Superman obliges, even sending him flying up to Lex Luthor's tower and crashing in it. Darkseid himself also does this to Superman.
** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': In "[[Recap/BatmanBeyondS1E12DisappearingInque Disappearing Inque]]", [[spoiler:Bruce Wayne]] uses a PoweredArmor to confront Inque and save [=Terry McGinnis=]. At one point, he punches Inque with it, sending her fly across the arena they're in.

** Later in the same [[TheMovie movie]], after Kim and Ron managed to stop Drakken's army of robots, Kim confronted Shego and kicked her ''off the top of the building'', surely sending her flying at least ten or twenty yards, and ''into a live electrical signal tower''. And she apparently kicked her with so much force that the tower crumbled and collapsed on top of her. Of course, this is justified in that Kim is wearing a [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman super suit]] during this portion of the movie.

* The ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'' short "WesternAnimation/JerrysCousin" has cousin Muscles inflate his fist and punch Tom across the room. His EstablishingCharacterMoment had him doing this trope to an alley full of cats, only stopping when the mailman delivers Jerry's letter for him asking for help.

* Practically everyone Creator/BruceLee sparred with regularly said he did this to them. The famous "One-Inch Punch", while not exactly sending someone flying across the room, would knock them back several feet which is an impressive distance when you realize that Bruce Lee's fist quite literally [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin only moved an inch.]] He also had a "Six-Inch Punch" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC6vRJsBZEg that could knock a person back about 15 feet.]] That's after being softened by the cushion his demonstration partner held between them, presumably to avoid getting his ribs broken. Bruce's blows could be so strong that stunt men were sometimes wary about working with him for fear that he would seriously injure them ''completely by accident''. For instance, in the famous ''Film/EnterTheDragon'' scene where Bruce kicks O'Hara off his feet and into a crowd of spectators, one of the stunt men was bowled over with such force that he broke his arm. Jackie Chan, who played one of the unnamed mooks in the scene where Bruce Lee fights a seemingly endless ZergRush of flunkies, got knocked out by a glancing blow from Bruce's nunchuk. Jackie admits it was his own fault: he wasn't on his mark, and would have been fine if he'd been where the fight choreography required him to be. Bruce was so horrified after the scene, he helped Jackie up and hugged him, apologizing profusely. Jackie admitted that he hammed up how much pain he was in because he didn't want Bruce to stop hugging him. He claims it's one of the greatest things that has happened to him in his entire career.
* [[https://www.vulture.com/article/book-excerpt-rolling-stones-charlie-watts-mick-jagger-fight.html One notorious story]] about Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} revolves around this. During the mid-80's, Music/MickJagger drunkenly rang drummer Charlie Watts up in the middle of the night asking where "my drummer" was. Watts, known for his calm eloquence, freshened up, donned one of his trademark suits, and went down to Jagger's room, immediately decking him in the face so hard that it sent him flying across the room and nearly out the window-- Music/KeithRichards rescued Jagger, but only because he'd lent him his wedding jacket. Watts' only words were "never call me 'your drummer' again, you're ''my'' fucking singer!"

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fanfic ''[[Fanfic/KingdomHeartsTheAntipode The Antipode]]'': In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/1944492/chapters/96884385 Side Stories: Another Night On Grandship]]'', [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] insults [[Series/TheMuppetShow Miss Piggy]], who responds by punching him through a table. This is referenced in the main story where a table with a distinctly man-shaped dent is shown in the tavern. A man-shaped dent that was, in Gaston's pailkiller-addled words, "roughly the size of a barge."

* ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} does this a lot. But since he's street level weight class, he's limited to literally knocking people across rooms. Still impressive in its own right.

* ''ComicBook/DoubleDuck'', The first time we see Agency's hand-to-hand combat instructor Bruce Wong, he announces Donald he'll fake hitting him with a punch and then ''kicks'' him across the gym.
* Franchise/TheFlash Wally West once punched someone so hard that he/she was sent flying to somewhere in Africa, and they were in Mount Rushmore. He did it with the [[http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/12521/1245663123804.jpg Infinite Mass Punch]] in which he travels at the speed of light.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Powers}}'', Walker once punched a guy so hard he flew into the moon and ''bounced off it at more than escape velocity''.
* Maddie of ''ComicBook/RatQueens'' catches these twice in quick succession: once knocking her off a mountain precipice, and again by the Once and Future King.

* [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] had a punch that was ''called'' the Megaton Punch. He only used it as a last resort on enemies that he thought could survive it.
* Many punches thrown in ''ComicBook/SinCity'' end with this or HighPressureBlood. Sometimes it's both.

** In ''Franchise/GreenLantern'' story arc ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar'', it happened most of times Superman fought, with everyone being punched across cities and whatnot.

* In ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMegaseries'', [[spoiler:Hunter O'Nion]] discovers his newfound SuperStrength by [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Devastation5_THOK!.jpg punching a Machination scientist so hard]] that the man flies out of the room, breaking the door on his way out, and crashes into a wall with enough force to crack it.

* ''Franchise/XMen'' has Juggernaut get punched ''across the U.S.'' as a bit of foreshadowing for its ''ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}'' arc.
* Rogue of the Franchise/XMen was struck by Binary (the former ComicBook/MsMarvel, whose life had been ruined by Rogue before she became a [[HeelFaceTurn reformed bad guy]]) so hard that she ended up nearly hitting the Moon.

* ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'': Cameron does this quite often, though its justified by the fact that she's a super-strong killer cyborg

* There's a few bosses in the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series that have attacks which do this. One in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia OrderOfEcclesia]]'' even does an attack chain of seven of them.

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Inquisitor}}'', characters have a "Knockback" value equal to 1/10th their Strength. If you get hit by something that does at least that much damage, you go flying or (just as often) get knocked ''down''. Big weapons like [[DropTheHammer hammers]] effectively halve the effort it takes to do a knockback. There exists the BlownAcrossTheRoom variant, as well.

** Luffy demonstrates Gear Fourth by decking [[spoiler:Doflamingo]] hard enough to send him to the town center. The actual punch happened in a castle ''outside the town entirely''.
** A comedic example that happens ''to'' Luffy is in the Drum Island arc, when he suggests chucking a barrel of cold water on a then-ill Nami to make her fever drop. Vivi and Sanji weren't amused, and promptly sent him flying to the other side of the room before casually resuming their conversation.
** Luffy defeated Charlotte Cracker this way using his Gomu Gomu no Cannonball technique. He sent Cracker plowing thought the remaining [[{{mooks}} cracker soldiers]], the [[TheLostWoods Seducing Woods]] and all the way to Sweet City, the capital of Whole Cake Island several miles from where the fight took place.

* Any fights done in ''Film/TheMatrix'' fought by, with, or against people who know the Matrix for what it is. In particular Neo, although being The One, he's explicitly allowed to break the rules.

** In ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'', Doomsday punching Booster Gold so hard, he's airborne, thankful that he brought his barrier up to take the blow. When Superman first meets Doomsday, he tanks Doomsday's punch, but the following ''kick'' knocks him through the house they're near.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':

* During one fight in ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'', ComicBook/CarolDanvers punches ComicBook/{{Rogue}} across Xavier's Mansion grounds.

* In an early ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' issue, Peter and Flash Thompson, still hated enemies, have a boxing match. Peter's worried because he knows he could actually ''kill'' Flash with his spider-strength, so he decides to throw a punch but stop at the last instant and only hit Flash by flicking his fist at the wrist. That's ''still'' enough to send Flash flying out of the boxing ring, but because something distracted Flash just before the "punch" landed, [[ButtMonkey everyone blames Peter]] for knocking Flash out when he wasn't looking.

* ''VideoGame/MadWorld'': Exaggerated with the FinalBoss -- in the last potential power struggle, the last hit sends the boss flying from the ring you're in all the way to the audience stands. A helicopter then picks up the boss from the stands, now dazed, and lets you kill him off for real.

** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E4DaringDont Daring Don't]]" has Daring Do knock a {{Mook}} across the room, with a [[AssKicksYou hip-check]] of all things.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'': In one episode, a spinach-addled Popeye punched Bluto all the way to the moon. In another episode, Popeye actually punched him through the fourth wall and into the movie theatre.

* Happens frequently in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' on account of having a cast of kung fu masters.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', when Abby punches Mei she is sent flying offscreen.

* Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse:
** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': The episode "Love Is A Croc" has Batman punch Killer Croc about a hundred feet across a spacious room at a power plant Superman-style that sent Croc crashing against pipework. The enraged Croc attempts to retaliate by ripping out a piece of pipe, but it was a steaming, hot water pipe, which erputs a near-fatal burst of water that delivers Croc right back to Batman's feet.
** ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'': ComicBook/{{Lobo}} does this to Superman at one point, and Superman obliges, even sending him flying up to Lex Luthor's tower and crashing in it. {{ComicBook/Darkseid}} himself also does this to Superman.
** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': In "Disappearing Inque", [[spoiler:Bruce Wayne]] uses a PoweredArmor to confront Inque and save [=Terry McGinnis=]. At one point he punches Inque with it, sending her fly accross the arena they're in.
** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': In ''Justice League Unlimited'', taking a punch from one of the more powerful characters easily sent the victim several miles or further (this is probably what is expected, considering some punches are capable of breaking the sound barrier). Best example is when Franchise/{{Superman}} delivers a punch on {{ComicBook/Darkseid}}. This is after Superman gives his NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech and reveals he's ready to cut loose on the one person in the universe he can hit ''at full power''... To put this in perspective, with ''one punch'', Darkseid was sent sailing through ''seven'' skyscrapers, and ''kept going!'' The only thing that stopped him was Superman giving him a MeteorMove midflight.
* The ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths'' movie has a ''lot'' of collateral damage caused by this kind of thing. It's just as well the building where the League first fought the Crime Syndicate was pretty much condemned anyway, given the amount of it that was reduced to rubble by things like Superman throwing Superwoman through walls.

* WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} did this to Bluto pretty much all the time after eating spinach.

* The ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' short "WesternAnimation/JerrysCousin" has cousin Muscles inflate his fist and punch Tom across the room. His EstablishingCharacterMoment had him doing this trope to an alley full of cats, only stopping when the mailman delivers Jerry's letter for him asking for help.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]", a hypnotized and very much determined Big Macintosh can be seen kicking a huge dog pile of ponies on top of him ''well'' over the horizon.
** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E4DaringDont Daring Don't]]" has Daring Do knock a {{Mook}} across the room, with a [[AssKicksYou hip-check]] of all things.

** During their big climactic fight, Judge Doom hits Eddie with [[spoiler:an anvil-fist]]...knocking him across an entire factory warehouse. [[spoiler: Justified because he's [[ToonPhysics a toon]].]]

* VideoGame/{{Deadpool}} gets this in his own game when mistakenly motorboats the chest of a very unimpressed Cable.

* ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerGiantFist EXTRAPOWER Giant Fist]]'': Zophy, Wolf and Power King are all capable of doing this to anyone they face.

** ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'': This one happens often, depending on what hits, and who's hit. Super Mutants and Giant Radscorpions will often send you sliding a few feet back, and on the return, a good V.A.T.S. finisher strike will send the corpse of the poor sap that you hit sailing through the air. Two weapons in the game, the Displacer Glove and its variant Pushy, actually invoke this one, too, by being a glove [[MakeMeWannaShout hooked up to a sonic-boom speaker]] that will activate on hit, making for one amazing PowerFist that can launch people over barricades even if they aren't dead.

* The Tiger Drop from the ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series is a powerful counter move that can OneHitKO most lesser enemies and send them flying across the screen. In a specific story related example, in ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza 6}}'' Kiryu punches Yuta out of the Hirose offices and into the street (several meters) to [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan snap Yuta out]] of his HeroicBSOD near the beginning of the third act of the game.
