Totally forgot another part of The Grave in the Abyss that I loved.
Spoilers, obviously!
When Hei Xiazi & Xiao Hua started fighting because Hei Xiazi wanted to open the tomb to save Xiao Hua's life but Xiao Hua refused to open the tomb because they didn't know what could happen and also, if Wannabe Cthulhu wanted it open, then it couldn't be a good thing...
Yeah, they fought, really fought not some fake slapping. But! Hei Xiazi refused to actually hurt Xiao Hua. He pulled his punches, he stopped himself from hitting Xiao Hua in the face, stopping his fist just inches away from Xiao Hua's cheek. When he kicked Xiao Hua and Xiao Hua stumbled - he was sick and poisoned, after all - Hei Xiazi reached out and quickly caught him before he could fall off the tomb and actually hurt himself...
And when Hei Xiazi's young friend then knocked Xiao Hua out with a blowgun, the way Hei Xiazi cradled Xiao Hua in his lap, making sure that he wasn't really hurt and was resting comfortably.
Goodness gracious, be still my heart! 😍

Restart: The Grave in the Abyss
Spoilers because I need to gush!
This movie is up there with TLT2 (the Neo Hou/Cheng Yi outing) as my favorite DMBJ thingy. No silly het romance of an unnecessary insert (I'm looking at you, Providence), just good old tentacles and Bromance - with the B being very silent.
Till this movie, Heihua did nothing for me. It didn't ring any bells, it left me cold and shrugging on the outskirts of this fandom. But Ji Chen and Ji Xiaobing as Hei Xiazi and Xiao Hua, respectively, did A Thing(TM) to my perception of this pairing. Like... wow.
This movie was everything I hoped for. Yeah, yeah, grave robbing (sorta), tentacled Cthulhu wannabe, that was all nice and whatnot. But the relationship between Hei Xiazi and Xiao Hua? That was perfection pure.
Like...
when Xiao Hua first came to Hei Xiazi and Hei Xiazi learned why Xiao Hua was headed into the jungle - and then he stole Xiao Hua's ugly statuette and threw it into the pond to protect him.
when Hei Xiazi paid the armed wannabe bandits to let Xiao Hua's expedition pass but he placed himself right next to Xiao Hua, just in case, to protect him from bullets.
when Hei Xiazi was told that the cops found a dead body and he feared that it was Xiao Hua, remembering his words, "Are you not afraid that we will all die?"
when Hei Xiazi immediately packed his things and ran to Xiao Hua's rescue.
when Hei Xiazi realized that Xiao Hua was poisoned - well, the rest of the expedition too but them folks could just keel over and die for all he cared - and kept on checking on Xiao Hua for the rest of the movie every time Xiao Hua was sick or dizzy - Hei Xiazi's Look(TM) when he saw the insect sores on Xiao Hua's arm!
when Hei Xiazi decided to open the sarcophagus, not really caring what was inside, just so Wannabe Cthulhu would stop killing Xiao Hua.
when Wannabe Cthulhu smacked Xiao Hua off the platform and Hei Xiazi screamed with rage!
when it looked like they might die after all and Hei Xiazi simply lay down next to Xiao Hua, fully intending to just expire together with him right then and there.
when they escaped through the river and at some point, Hei Xiazi let his young fellow of a friend go, despite the boy being knocked out, to drag Xiao Hua up.
when Hei Xiazi's young friend told him, "Why don't you go with [Xiao Hua]? He obviously cares about you a lot."
when they then ran off together, doing unseemly things in Russia.
This movie just pushed all the right buttons when it came to whump. There wasn't just a lot of hurt, there was so much care on both sides. It's the most lasting impression of mine after watching this movie: they CARED for each other. They cared so much. You could truly feel the depth of affection they had for each other. Smitten, I was smitten!
Rating: 9/10 (easily!)
