The first time you see Sam selling his onions, a nearly bald man comes up to him (Mr. Collingwood) and Sam advises him to use onion cream on his head so hair will grow. Mr. Collingwood is Louis Sachar, the author of the book Holes.
Stanley Yelnats the 2nd (Caveman's grandpa) is the director's(Andy) dad.
In the last few scenes of the movie you see the Attorney General (he's the man with the cowboy hat and round sunglasses) this man is also the Stunt director/organiser. He contributed a lot to the film as all the stunts where organised by him so the director decided to give him a small part as a way of saying thank-you.
Shia Lebouf's name means "thank God for beef.".
When Kate Barlow shoots the sheriff, the prisoner in the first jail cell is Andy Davis's son.
Sigourney Weaver took on the role of the Warden at the suggestion of her daughter. Holes is her daughter's favourite book.
The onions that Stanley and Zero eat towards the end of the film are actually apples with an edible covering.
During the credits the song "If Only" comes on, and none other than Joe Sumner (Sting's son, if you don't recognize the last name) is singing it.
