If you manually select English dialogue; subtitles = "off", then the ONLY forced subs are those that accompany that burned-in German location (etc) text; not the audio dialogue itself.

I own the UK release. It is region free (tested multi-region player - plays FBI warning when set to Region A).
There is no DVD in the box. Sorry - should have been more explicit

FYI You can copy & paste the USA version for the UK. Identical, region free.

It's my review on MichaelDVD. The EU PAL runtime is 94 minutes; the AU PAL runtime is 100. I hope the PQ and soundtrack on any re-release are an improvement. I ended up making a home-made composite using (far better, stereo) footage from the EU disc edited with the AU footage where different.

Not sure it qualifies as a "movie" but Dire Straits Alchemy Live otherwise fits this category - shot on SD video and available, upscaled, on BD.
The reason for buying this on BD is, I gather, the excellent work done on the soundtrack. I have yet to experience it myself.

My software indicates this is coded R 1234
