But don't people in both real life and movies typically bash the bottle over the skull, which is neither soft nor mushy? If the belligerent bargoer used that bottle to break his nose, he wasn't being very smart.
Tova:
Alcohol is known to have that effect on people.
MrNumbers:
Thankfully it looks like the bottle was empty.
Had it been full...

Well starting fights generally isn't smart in the first place. Especially if everyone around can clearly tell that you're in the wrong. And, you know, the guy you're hitting is huge.
Anyway, there's certainly a lot of factors that would go into breaking a bottle. Force, thinkness of glass, how the bottle was being held, squishiness of hit object, but if you were actually trying to win a fight breaking someone's nose is much smarter than hitting someone over the head. You're not going to bleed out/lose consciousness from cuts to the head in that short amount of time and you're banking on being able to concuss the person immediately, which is a lot harder than movies would have us believe.

And in real life the skull cracks more easily than the bottle most of the time. The reason why the bottle breaks in the movies are that the bottle is probably made from crystalline sugar which break very easily. See this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Fake-glass-bottleSugar-glass/
