Continuity mistake: In the scene where Stanley and Zero are digging to find the chest toward the end of the movie, the background behind them is just a dirt wall. In a following shot upon discovering the box, there are stairs that lead to the hole. In the next shot, these stairs are gone again and it's just the hole again. (01:38:05)
Holes (2003)
Plot summary
Directed by: Andrew Davis
Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Shia LaBeouf, Tim Blake Nelson
Based on the best selling book by Louis Sachar, Holes is a two-hour adventure surrounding Stanley Yelnats (played by Shia LaBeouf). Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake for a crime he didn't commit. Camp Green Lake is a camp for juvenile delinquents, including characters such as X-Ray, Zig-Zag, Magnet, and the odd Zero. The campers are required to dig a hole each day five feet long and five feet wide. But, Stanley comes to think that there's something more to digging holes than just "building character." Unfortunately, Stanley will have to go through the evil Warden and Mr. Sir to prove anything first.

Mr. Sir: I ain't on stupid pills!
Trivia: When the cast and crew were filming Holes, they filmed it in an actual desert where the temperature reached to 50C(120F). They only filmed 20 minutes at a time so they wouldn't suffer from the extreme heat.

Chosen answer: She was upset that Mr. Sir was making a big deal about Stanley supposedly stealing his sunflower seeds. The Warden is only in it for the treasure and doesn't care about the boys. Mr. Sir bothering her about a minor theft is irritating to her.
