Or maybe he was meant to say sapito to show the audience that the relationship between those guys wasnt a big one, that they knew themselves for such a short time that they didnt even remember well their own names

The one and only time the audience hears the character's name is in the line
"Adios, Sapito". Unless you go beyond the cinematic experience, you would
never know about the spelling of "Satipo".
In 1981, my friends & I were part of that audience and we all heard "Sapito".
When "The Illustrated Screenplay" and other literature was published, we all
noticed the difference.
Anyway, Luisiana, I can see where you're coming from so - Yes, maybe Indy
just didn't remember his name... It's the only explanation...

Seeing this, and with my opinion of the Indina Jones character, I think the line is just right. The correct name is probably Satipo. However, By the end, Indy was not very fond of the guy. So, he was playing with his name and calling the guy a "Sap."
Or he got his lines messed up, but it's neat to think of other possibilities.

"Adios Stupido"
Don't laught. English is not my language

well, i've listened to it several times now (never paid attention to this line).
in the english version, it's hard to tell. the guys who wrote the subtitles for the DVD didn't seem to be sure, either, so they just said "Adios". in the Czech and Hungarian version, he calls him something entirely different - at least not his real name. and in german, he clearly says "stupido".
so i guess we can all be pretty sure, that's what he calls him. no need to laugh about Elodie.

This is true but I think you're missing the point, which is that Indy's
pronunciation of the name wasn't done to show his weak relationship
with the character. The audience never hears/sees the name before
Indy says Sapito.
So, let me rephrase my post by saying, "Unless a movie-goer later reads the
credits or book/scripts they would never know about the spelling of Satipo".
Besides, wouldn't you agree that the percentage of people leaving the
theatre when any film credits start to roll is pretty high?

the only one who thinks that the spanish simply cant translate movie titles the right way, well yeah you are not, and im ashamed of that, they say that they translate some titles differently so they impact the society more what the heck is that supposed to mean, if a movie its called red why do we have to call it blue

Hey. Every time I watch the movie there is alot of noise in the background so
I alwasy thought he said adios Amigo, which doesn't make much sense anyway so....wait what was I saying?..........Doh not again.

In the German version, is it Harrison Ford's voice or is it dubbed?
The 1981 English theatrical release is the source material and not
a DVD made ~20 years later.
Your English DVD seems differentfrom mine as the subtitles on my copy read "Adios, Satipo."
Admittedly, "Stupido" makes for a better line (if the audience were to
have heard "Satipo" previously) but in the original he definitely says "Sapito".
Having seen the movie 4 times in the theatre with Dolby Sound, I wouldn't
have even mentioned this if there was any doubt.
I'm tellin' ya, man, either Harrison flubbed (or changed, as in other cases)
the line and the credits were created without reflecting this trivial detail.
Every reference since then has been based on the script/credits and not
from the mouth of Indiana Jones.
