Trivia
After Captain Hammer jumps on top of the van that Dr. Horrible is attempting to hijack, he punches and destroys the device Dr. Horrible was using to remotely control the van. The fist punching the device is Joss Whedon's.

Goofs
When Billy is addressing the viewer on his blog, it is evident that his computer monitor is not actually on, since his face becomes darker as it gets closer to the monitor. Had it been on (as it would be were he actually making a video blog), his face would have gotten brighter as it neared the monitor.
