Quiz
The 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.

Blooper
When 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.

Citazioni
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.

Versioni alternative
The Unrated Cut of Hancock features roughly ten minutes of additional material. In this cut,
After Hancock (Will Smith) apprehends the three thugs in the opening scene, the scene in the bar is longer. In the Theatrical Cut, the scene is made up of Hancock watching the police chief (Gregg Daniel) on TV, then telling an elderly lady (Dorothy Cecchi) at the bar, "I will break my foot off in your ass woman", before going back to watching the TV, with the chief becoming increasingly hysterical about Hancock's actions. In the Unrated Cut, however, there is less footage of the police chief. Instead, we see Hancock doodling, before he is approached by a young woman (Hayley Marie Norman) who tells him she's been looking for him and asks him what it's like when he flies. She then tells him that he saved her cousin. The scene where Hancock speaks to the elderly lady then happens. Hancock then leaves with the young woman and they go to his trailer. She makes small talk with him and climbs on top of him. He then tells her, "When I get to the...moment, when I start climbing the mountain top, you're gonna need to be as far away from that as possible." She doesn't pay much attention to what he's saying, and they start to have sex. When he ejaculates, the force throws her across the trailer and punctures several holes in the ceiling. She is terrified and he is embarrassed. He apologizes and tries to make small talk, telling her he will bring her flying if she wants. She asks to use the bathroom, and after a moment, Hancock realizes she has climbed out the window and fled (04:37).
When Hancock goes to Ray's (Jason Bateman) house for the second time, he has a verbal altercation with Michel (Daeg Faerch), during which Michel calls him an asshole six times. In the Unrated Cut, their conversation is longer, with Michel telling Hancock that his father thinks he's an asshole as well, and he behaves like an asshole. Hancock tries to explain that that isn't a nice word to use to describe someone, but Michel is indifferent and continues to say the word (00:21).
The scene of Hancock arriving in jail is longer, with a montage of him having his picture taken and dragging along a line of prisoners to whom he is chained (00:22).
During the bank robbery, when Hancock approaches the trapped police officer (Liz Wicker), she yells at him, "Get me the f#*k out of here." In the Theatrical Cut, she yells, "Get me the hell out of here" (no time differentiation).
After Hancock foils the bank robbery, the scene of him emerging from the building is longer, with more shots of the hostages spilling out behind him and a longer shot of Red's (Eddie Marsan) severed hand (00:23).
The restaurant scene between Hancock, Ray, and Mary (Charlize Theron) is longer. After Hancock speculates about how much of a monster he must have been for no one to claim him at the hospital, the three sit in silence for a moment. Hancock then acknowledges that anyone who did know him 80 years ago would be dead by now anyway. Ray notices that Mary is crying and she laughs and says, "too much wine. I'm a light weight." She and Hancock then look at one another, and she says, "I'm sorry" to which he says, "you didn't do nothing." He then thanks Ray for the dinner and says, "I'd almost call this fun." (00:59).
Immediately after the restaurant scene, the scene where Hancock carries Ray to bed is longer, and features some additional dialogue, with Ray telling Hancock, "you are like a Dodger dog; it's something that people don't think they're going to like, then they try it and they love it. It hits the spot, it's good for the soul. You're like the world's Dodger dog" (00:12).
Immediately after the above scene, the scene with Hancock and Mary in the kitchen is longer, opening with a CU of Mary subconsciously playing with her wedding ring. In the Theatrical Cut, the scene opens with a quick shot of Mary washing a glass. The conversation between Hancock and Mary is also longer, with Mary hesitantly telling Hancock, "I don't want you to think that Ray drinks like that, because this is just kind of a celebratory night." Hancock assures her he doesn't think that. There is then some additional awkward silence as Mary cleans the dishes. The moment when Hancock and Mary kiss is also longer. In the Theatrical Cut, Mary notices a bruise on Hancock's hand before telling him, "okay, good night". He then moves to kiss her, but she throws him through the wall. In the Unrated Cut, after she notes the bruise on his hand (which uses an alternate take), he mumbles, "Yeah, I don't know what that is. I've been feeling kinda funny." Mary then says, "you should go." There is a pause, some awkward silence and she says, "It's getting late." There is more awkward silence as they look at one another and then Hancock moves in to kiss her. Unlike in the Theatrical Cut, she kisses him back momentarily, before throwing him through the wall (01:10).
The following morning, the scene where Mary suggests to Ray that they go away is slightly longer (00:08).
The scene where Mary visits Hancock at his trailer features an alternative version of her arrival; in the Theatrical Cut, she flies to the trailer and is shown landing outside, whereas in the Unrated Cut, she simple drives there and pulls up outside. This creates significant (but different) continuity errors in both the Theatrical Cut and the Unrated Cut. At the end of the scene, Mary is shown about to get into her car; but in the Theatrical Cut, she didn't have her car when the scene began. The Unrated Cut features a different continuity error a moment later. After Mary and Hancock fly away, an aerial shot shows Hancock's trailer, with no sign of the car anywhere near it.
In the Theatrical Cut, after she lands, Mary and Hancock simply stare at one another for a moment, and then she goes into the trailer. In the Unrated Cut, they have some dialogue - Mary says, "well, I'm here," to which he says, "yeah." She then looks around and says, "wanna do it?" He says "do what", and she walks up to him and says, "here's how this works; you ask the questions, I answer them honestly, and you leave LA." He says he isn't leaving LA and she goes to get back into the car, but he calls her back and they enter the trailer (00:33).
After crashing into the side of Ray's building, there are some additional shots of Hancock and Mary on the ground, inter-cut with shots of Ray looking down at them and slowly realizing who it is. There is also some extra dialogue, as Hancock tries to explain to Mary he doesn't remember anything, he pauses and says, "you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." After they see Ray watching them, there is more footage of them on the ground, clambering to their feet, and several additional shots of a stunned Ray (00:25).
The scene where Mary is shot in the hospital uses an alternate take, and there is more blood when she is hit (no time differentiation).

Go see it - it's not that bad

*** MAY CONTAIN SPOILER ***

I NEVER write on these opinion boards but I might start with this one. I felt as though I needed to stick up for the movie after reading all the horrible reviews. I went to see it on the 4th, mainly because the trailers looked entertaining and because I enjoy Will Smith. This movie is not at all what I expected. There is a surprising turn of events that I did not see coming. Will Smith, in his usual style, is quick, funny, witty, and charming and I thought the timing between he and Jason Bateman was perfect. If you are expecting to see a movie along the lines of Hulk, Iron Man, Batman, etc, don't go because you won't enjoy it. If you are going because you like the cast and are ready to be entertained for 1 hour and 20 minutes out of your life, then it is definitely worth the price of admission.
