To be honest, I do feel that the US is doing pretty well on the subtitles 
front. My copy of Night of the Living Dead (1990 remake) has, aside from a 
number of European-language subtitles, Arabic, Hindi, Hebrew, Turkish and 
Greek, which covers a good chunk of the world altogether. Most Hong Kong 
discs only have English and two versions of Chinese.

I understand why low-budget companies can't always provide subtitles and 
that's fairly understandable. Dut it does make things a lot more convenient 
if they do.
