Bond following hit comedy (9)
I believe the answer is:
slapstick
'comedy' is the definition.
(I know that slapstick is a type of Comedy film)
'bond following hit' is the wordplay.
'bond' becomes 'stick' (synonyms).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hit' becomes 'slap' (both can mean to strike).
'stick' put after 'slap' is 'SLAPSTICK'.
(Other definitions for slapstick that I've seen before include "Comedy with physical antics" , "unsophisticated humour" , "Humour based on clumsiness" , "Unsubtle comedy" , "laugh" .)
