Not many. The two recent Iwai Shunji discs (not sure of the title, "Fried
Dragon Fish" or something like that and another TV special) have subtitles
and are not region coded. "Bounce" has no region coding, but doesn't have
English subs.
The new Pony Canyon DVD for "Samurai Fiction" has no region coding and
English subtitles plus English menus. It's supposedly a spectacular DVD.
Any opinions on the film? It sounds very interesting.
That's about all I know of off the top of my head...
