Wild zero (2000)
Japanese "Rock Band", "Wolf"
This film has japanese guys with big quiff's fighting zombies on turbo powerd motorbikes, and using guitar picks as throwing stars!!!
Flying saucers are heading towards the earth and at the same time a zombie plauge starts!!!!
Eastern (i.e Indian, chinese, japanese) visions of american rock cool always end up cheesey and cliched, leather jackets, greasy hair and fonzee thumbs up!, but you may want to give it a try as it wont be like anything else you have ever seen!
Versus (2002)
A group of prison escapees and yakuza gansters meet up in the woods for a hostage exchage, only to find themselves embroiled in a battle with there previous victems who come back to life and engage them in gun/karate combat!
again worth seeing because it was an independant that they put alot of effort into and its mad, but not the best zombie or japanese horror you will see
Freezer (not zombies but top japanese horror)
a young japanese girl suffers a gang rape and then like (I spit on your grave aka day of the woman) exacts her revenge, storing the bodies parts of her victims in a growing collection of freezers in her flat(apartment)! disturbing movie which is beautifull and touching at times and repulsive at others
If anyone wants to know about any other Japanese, Hong kong or korean movies, just ask and I will help if I can!

I would also recomend the chinese(Hong Kong) movie Riki-Oh (aka Story of Ricky), if you like gore or Kung fu, it's described as evil dead, brainded and the matrix times 10!!, and features amost other scenes a man having razorblades put in his mouth and then being kung fu slapped around the head!
