Holes mistake picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Trout's gang burns the school and kills Sam, there is a part where Katherine runs into the sheriff's office then exits. A few seconds later, Katherine runs by a shop on which the name is reversed. Very obvious. (00:51:40)

Revealing mistake: In the overhead view of the bus driving across the desert to Camp Greenlake the dust behind the bus is CG, and near the end of the scene the bus moves up in the frame and the end of the dust trail cuts off with a straight line.

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)
