In an astonishing departure for the long running series the film kicks off with a high-speed car chase through the narrow cliff-top lanes of the Italian lakes followed by a specially commissioned theme tune.

Bond then has a tetchy meeting with M and gets a new car, followed by a punch-up, some titties, another punch-up, titties, a bit of gouging, M again, titties, another car chase, some shooting, titties, a punch-up, and closes with a few more titties and a wry smile.

Dick Hart, editor of Cut!, said: "It's a revelation. Bond drives over the cliff and you think 'christ, he’s dead - what kind of Bond film is this'?

"But you know what? He isn't. He gets out the flaming wreckage and walks away because he's wearing a suit made of very fine aluminium. Then it's straight into the titties."

He added: "One tradition they've stuck with is that while we do see an awful lot of titties we never get to see James Bond's buttocks. Personally I believe cinemagoers are ready for a fully nude James Bond film. Titties, fannies, knobs, the lot."

Bond fan Wayne Hayes said the only innovation he welcomed was that Quantum of Solace is the first 007 movie to clock in at less then four and a half hours.

He said: "Two hours is more than enough. It's not as if they're making a film about the Holocaust."
