This is Australian javelin thrower Reg Spiers, best known for literally mailing himself in a big giant box from London to Australia in the 1960s:
Spiers was broke and needed to figure out a way home to his family, so he did what any person would have done: he posted himself.

That film was crap in every aspect anyway. Saw it in the 90s and even then it was cringe.
