I'm learning today that José Elías Moreno was featured in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 classic: Santa Claus.

@Tsarstepan​ Indeed. While I have always believed that movie is unfairly loathed and practically all the complaints about the quality are due to a dubbing that changed the meaning of the original dialogue or are misunderstandings of Mexican Christmas traditions, that got him to be known outside the country.
