Hey Raider S, I brought this up last week and it was the sole reason I revived my 3 year old thread.Raider S said:Prepare for your very lives to change.
The debate is over, the universe is in balance! An "official" Indiana Jones money-maker-glossy magazine has ended our argument and answered the age old question.
Either another typo, or they decided to retcon the name to Sapito since that's what a lot of people think it is.

As I was waiting on someone in the grocery store I decided to do some reading in the magazine isle. The new issue of the Indy Crystal Skull magazine was there so I took a peek. Inside was a piece on the villains of the Indy flicks and on last page of said piece was a list of "minor" villains. And who is listed there but...wait for it...SAPITO! That's right SaPito.

Adios SAPITO!
Here's a curious extract from "The Official Indiana Jones Magazine" #5, pg. 35:Luke Skywalker said:BTW, Sapito means in Spanish a diminutive of Sapo, which means toad.
So as a name-nickname 'Toady' serves very well the character. Slimy traitor
On the other hand, Satipo is a region of Perú.

Little Toad
Alfred Molina's treacherous Peruvian guide is named Satipo in the script, but
Indy calls him "Sapito" after the character's karmic impalement. What could
be a mistake could also serve as an insult, for "sapito" can be interpreted as
a nickname meaning "little toad".
I still kind of wonder why this discussion is such a hot potato, as it's always been Satipo in the movie's credits - ever since 1981.The Magic Rat said:It's Sapito, damn it! If it's what Indy calls him, it's what I use.
Well...Ray Winstone's character is "Michale" in the credits for Indy 4 but everywhere else it's "McHale".Finn said:I still kind of wonder why this discussion is such a hot potato, as it's always been Satipo in the movie's credits - ever since 1981.

We have that many illiterates around? They do seem to know how to write though.
"Ret***ned". If anyone ever catches me using that term, please shoot me. It's "Michale", dammit!Finn said:Nothing like little retconned authority...
I mean, it was good for 27 years you know.
I wonder what one calls all the people who watched the dubbed versions, never realizing the weasel evenThe Magic Rat said:Didn't realize I was illiterate by choosing to hear a word, believe that word is correct since it's only said once, and never pay close enough attention to see that two letters are off in the credits.

had a name and thought he was just "stupid".
