Overweight comedians are often stereotypically thought to be addiction-prone, larger than life characters who hide behind laughs to achieve some sense of self-worth.

Car chase, gun fight, foot chase, knife fight, airplane chase, gun fight, explosions: that pretty much sums up "Quantum of Solace," the 22nd film in the James Bond franchise.
