Holes (2003)

Ending / spoiler

(27 votes)

Zero and Caveman escape the camp. The curse is broken when Stanley carries Zero up the mountain. (Zero is the descendant of Madame Zeroni, and a Yelnats must carry a Zeroni up the mountain.) They survive on top of 'God's Thumb' by eating onions. Then they climb back down and find Kate's treasure in a hole. The boys are protected from the seven-spotted yellow lizards in the hole because of all the onions they ate. The warden wants the money, but it has Stanley's name on it (Zero reads this - because Stanley taught him!). The camp is shut down and the Warden, Mr. Sir, and Mr. Pendanski are arrested. Stanley gives Zero half the treasure, and Zero spends his hiring detectives to find his mom. Stanley's dad finds the recipe for foot odor: peaches and onions. They call it Sploosh, after the stuff in jars that Zero ate to survive. The baseball player that Stanley supposedly stole trainers from advertises the Sploosh. Stanley and Zero end up going back to school together.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Madame Zeroni is explaining to Elya Yelnats about the curse that will be bestowed upon him if he doesn't carry her up the mountain after presenting the pig to Myra's father, her blouse is a blue button-up with gold stripes and no collar. Then the camera looks at Elya, and then back at Madame Zeroni. When it looks back at Madame Zeroni, you can see that her blouse is now a gold button-up with a collar.

Question: Why did the Warden slap Mr. Sir in the face with her rattle snake venom?

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.
