Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe original screenplay was much darker. Apart from being a low-life, Hancock was supposed to be sexually frustrated because he couldn't have sex with a woman without killing her. The MPAA actually cleared a scene involving Hancock's explosive orgasm, but it was removed from the final cut because a test audience didn't find it funny. The tone was lightened considerably for a summer release aimed at a wide audience, but the MPAA gave the film an R twice before language and violence cuts resulted in a PG-13.
- GaffesWhen the people are running away from the tornadoes, suddenly a strange character runs from the left to the right of the screen. The character is twice as tall as everyone else, and looks like a robot or an alien. It may be a street performer, on stilts and in costume.

John Hancock: All of you people, blocking the intersection, you're all idiots.
Rail Crossing Crowd #1: You're the one that threw the dude's car at her. And what's with the train?
Rail Crossing Crowd #2: Why didn't you just go straight up in the air with the car? You've obviously injured that poor woman.
Rail Crossing Crowd #3: She's right. She should sue you.
John Hancock: Okay. Well, you should sue McDonald's, 'cause they fucked you up.
- Générique farfeluA scene after the credits start to roll.
- Autres versionsAn extended cut was released on DVD and Blu-Ray featuring several additional and modified scenes. The additional scenes include, but are not limited to: Hancock bringing a girl to his trailer to have sex, Mary Embrey driving to Hancock's trailer instead of flying there, and Hancock getting off a prison bus while chained to other prisoners whom he drags behind him.

- Look, I have an idea. Let's make a Superman flick, but instead of everybody liking this Superman-like character, everyone could, like, hate him.
- Hmm.. interesting. But why would they hate him? Is he a villain or something?
- No, no. He is..well.. a jerk. He still catches bad guys and stuff, but he, like, insults people, creates a lot of collateral damage.. you know. A jerk.
- I like it, I like it. He's like a superhero dr. House or something, right?
- Right. Only less witty and more bitter. We can also make him a drunk.
- Well... I dunno if it would fly. Perhaps if we could get Will Smith to do the role. People dig Will Smith.
- I'm with you there. Will Smith, flying around, insulting people.. man, this will be great!
- Right. But we have to go with it somewhere, we can't just let him do superhero stuff while being a jerk, this would get old pretty fast. How about he somehow gets involved with a PR specialist, who will, like, try to improve his public image?
- Great idea! And wait..wait.. what if we get that Michael Bluth guy from Arrested Development to play, umm... Michael Bluth the PR guy?
-Terrific! We're seriously up to something. Let's write!
(scrib scrib scrib... hours pass..)
- Congrats, we have a hit! Let's celebrate!
- I'll get the champagne!
- Umm hold on just a minute...
- What?
- I just realized.. this script is only good for about 45 minutes of the movie! Hour tops!
- Oh no! What can we do? Can we pad it a little?
- No! It's unpaddable! I even added a female lead as Michael Bluth's wife, it still only added about 5 minutes of the movie. Nope, sorry. This is a dud.
- Oh come on...
- Look, look..perhaps we can think of something. Think, think...how do we further the story along, put in, like, some kind of a twist...
- They are all dead or something?
- No, no.. how about..
(scrib scrib.. hours pass)
- Hmmm... I don't think this will work. No chance.
- Why?
- Just look at it! It's stupid, insultingly illogical, and the ending.. it's horrible. Look, I've greenlighted Jaws 4, so I know what I'm talking about.
- But, but.. Will Smith.. Bluth guy.. maybe we can get Charlize for the wife...
- I know! But this stuff... it.. just does not make any sense! The second half is nothing like the first half. It kills the movie!
- Yeah, perhaps we should just rewrite the whole thing..but..know what?
- What?
- Remember "I am legend"? With Will Smith?
- Yeees....
- That one also had a great first half, right?
- Yes. The first half was good.
- And the second half royally sucked, right?
- Riiight...
- And it still was a success, right?
- I see.. what you're saying is that a Will Smith flick can have a great first half, idiotic second half and still come out a winner?
- Exactly!
- Well it IS kind of late and I'm kinda tired.. What gives, let's do it. Although it *does* sound kinda hancock to me. Btw, how do we call this thing?
