Adiós, señor. (Goodbye, sir.)
~ Satipo's last words before running away and getting killed by a spike trap.

Satipo is a minor antagonist in the 1981 action-adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first installment of the Indiana Jones film series.

He is a greedy guide and thief who helped out the American archaeologist Indiana Jones to get the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol at the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors. By 1936, Satipo works along with his partner in crime Barranca, teaming up with him to swindle and even murder adventurers who hire them at Peru, Colombia and Venezuela, planning to backstab Jones and claim the idol for themselves in spite of the threat of René Belloq and the Hovitos.

He was portrayed by Alfred Molina in his big film debut and first villainous role, who also played Reverend Leland Drury in White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf, Snidely Whiplash in Dudley Do-Right, Johann Tetzel in LutherDoctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home, Bishop Manuel Aringarosa in The Da Vinci Code, Professor Jeffries in Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!, Maxim Horvath in The Sorcerer's ApprenticeKe-Pa in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the On Her Majesty’s Secret Service radio drama adaptation, Rippen in Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero, Viggo Grimborn in Dragons: Race to the Edge, Destiny in Justice League Dark, Lasombra in Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, Mr. Freeze in Harley Quinn, The Duke in Solar Opposites and Mictlan in Maya and the Three.

History[]

In 1936, Satipo and Indiana Jones entered the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors, in Peru. The aim of the expedition was to look for a golden idol. After a fearful encounter with tarantulas, Satipo followed Jones in swinging across a pit on Indy's bullwhip.

After Jones acquired the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol, he accidentally triggered the temple's booby traps, and ran out of the room with Satipo following him. The greedy Satipo betrayed him, stole the idol and left Jones to die.

The time when Indy threw the idol to him, he started to betray him but gets killed by a spike trap anyways.

Other Appearances[]

  • Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures: The same thing happens, but this time he manages to escape with Indy and that he was working with Belloq all along.
  • Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues: The game skips over his adventure with Indy and he is unlockable in the hub world.

Trivia[]

  • In the first draft of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Satipo was originally going to escape from the temple with Indiana Jones and then betray him outside only to be killed up by the Hovitos. It was screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan's idea to kill off Satipo.
  • The only time he is referred to by name, Indy incorrectly pronounces Satipo's name as “Sapito”.
