 Asian Entertainment Forum! -> Romantic Warriors
ROMANTIC WARRIORS is another film that takes inspiration from Hong Kong wu xia films (notably A CHINESE GHOST STORY), but it is an uneasy mix of spoof and homage that doesn't quite work as either as a result.
These are the "romantic warriors" of the title, but the film makes it clear early on that it plans to debunk or lambast the "romantic warrior" image that inspired countless Hong Kong movies.
These guys are just clueless idiots, and their best martial arts technique involves pulling faces and doing a stupid dance in the hope that the enemy will let his guard down from laughter or embarrassment for long enough for them to strike.

 Progressive Ears Album Reviews
But with the release of Romantic Warrior in '76, RTF seemed to leap toward the forefront of fusion bands that would catch the ear of a wider audience, and along with bands like Weather Report they kept that Miles Davis/Tony Williams' Lifetime/Mahavishnu fusion flame burning brightly.
Prior to Romantic Warrior, RTF was solid with Bill Connors manning the guitar duties.
Romantic Warrior gives each member of the band a chance to shine, not only in their individual playing (where each is among the tops on their particular instrument) but in their song composition.

These "romantic friendships" were not only common, but were considered quite normal, even "sweet", and in some instances, uplifting.
These relationships were "romantic" because they included almost all of the aspects of a modern heterosexual romantic relationship.
In America and Europe, romantic friendships were so highly valued and well accepted in their day that a young woman in a passionate and intense friendship who did not express her fondness for her friend with public displays of kisses and hand holding was considered to be "cold".

Duel Of The Jester And The Tyrant (11:26)
By now RTF had signed to Columbia Records, who had many of the early 70's jazz rock bands on their books, there the business was aiming mega-sales and that was in the rock-crossover marketplace.
All in all, Romantic Warrior is undoubtedly among the most important jazz-fusion records ever and one that hordes of progressive rock fans will enjoy.

By the time Return to Forever's ROMANTIC WARRIOR lineup coalesced, the group was very much a partnership between all four members.
By 1976, with increased reliance on Corea's banks of analogue synthesizers and Al Dimeola's searing electricguitar, the quartet had arrived at a musical crossroads that was more closely aligned with "progressive" ensembles of the day like Hands or Happy The Man than with real rockers orjazzmen.
"Romantic Warrior" shows the ability to rise above the average of general recordings of the time the 1970's and display that Jazz muscians can rock while existing on the edge of spontaneous combustion that has always been the cutting edge which defines Jazz from what now is we tend to label as jazz.

 Return to Forever : Romantic Warrior - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
It has been suggested that in employing a medieval album cover (drawn by Wilson McLean), using titles like "Medieval Overture" and "Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant," and occasionally playing in a baroque style, particularly in Clarke's "The Magician," Corea was responding to Rick Wakeman's successful string of albums on similar themes.
But they bring more of a traditional jazz approach to their sound, particularly in the opening statement of intent "Medieval Overture" and the original side one closer, "The Romantic Warrior," both of which feature extensive acoustic piano soloing by Corea.
Romantic Warrior is the sound of a mature band at the top of its game, which may help explain why it was Return to Forever's most popular album, eventually certified as a gold record, and the last by this assemblage.

Romantic Warrior was the first RTF album recorded for Columbia, and to many (myself included) was the introduction of a radical 'new' sound--fusion.
In 1976, if you weren't listening to top 40, progressive rock was the musical flavor of the day.
Romantic Warrior eventually made its way up to number 35 on the Billboard chart, which was unprecedented for a jazz album then or now.

 calendarlive.com: 'The Last Samurai'
Recruited by Japanese businessmen to help usher their country into its modern militaristic age, Cruise's captain finds himself entranced by Japan's romantic warrior caste, an infatuation that his director — fully besotted by movie-made Japan — enables by embracing the Way of the Hollywood Historical Epic.
Set shortly after the onset of the Meiji Restoration, when Japan threw off its feudal past and entered the modern age with a vengeance, "The Last Samurai" pivots on Cruise's character, Nathan Algren, a veteran of his country's war against the Indians.
Watanabe's no-nonsense believability makes for one dreamy marquee samurai, the kind that embodies the warrior's romantic ideals without any of the thuggish unpleasantness.
