I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is what you expect in a bond film' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'cliff escape set abroad' is the wordplay.
'abroad' indicates anagramming the letters (letters move around or go abroad).
'cliff'+'escape'+'set'='cliffescapeset'
'cliffescapeset' with letters rearranged gives 'SPECIAL EFFECTS'.

'this' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for special effects that I've seen before include "magic of the cinema!" , "tricks used in picture-making" , "things put together after shooting" .)
