The region code is not displayed anywhere on this disc or cover art. However, the eBay system requires a value be entered in the region field, so due to the production company being located in New York, I have selected the most relevant option of "Region 1". This may or may not be correct. Given the uncertainty of the disc region, please ensure your playback system is region free prior to purchase.

Synopsis* (possible spoiler alert) A pair of truck drivers, the experienced Gorō and a younger colleague named Gun, stop at a decrepit roadside ramen noodle shop. Outside, Gorō rescues a boy who is being beaten by three schoolmates. The boy, Tabo, is the son of Tampopo, the widowed owner of the struggling ramen shop, Lai Lai. A customer called Pisken harasses Tampopo, demanding that she sell the shop. Gorō suggests Pisken be quiet so he can enjoy his meal, then provokes a physical confrontation. Gorō puts up a good fight but, outnumbered by Pisken and his men, he is knocked out and awakens the next morning in Tampopo's home. The next morning, she kindly cooks breakfast for Gorō and Gun in her home kitchen and sends Tabo off to school. While eating breakfast, Tampopo asks for their opinion of her ramen, Gorō and Gun tell her they are "sincere, but lack character." After Gorō gives her some advice, she asks him to become her teacher. They decide to turn her establishment into a paragon of the "art of noodle soup making". She and Gorō visit her competitors and he points out their strengths and weaknesses. She still is struggling to fix the broth, so Gorō visits a homeless encampment to enlist the "old master" and his superlative expertise. When they rescue a wealthy elderly man from choking on his food, the man lends her the services of his chauffeur Shohei, who has a masterly way with noodles. Through clever trickery, they pry ramen secrets from their competitors. Gun and his friends give Tampopo a makeover as a modern proprietress. During the transition, the group agrees to change the restaurant's name from "Lai Lai" to "Tampopo". Pisken feels bad for being too drunk to tell his men to stay out of the fight, so he offers Gorō another chance one-on-one. After the rematch ends in a draw, Pisken reveals he is a contractor and Tampopo's childhood friend, and offers to renovate the shop's interior. Tampopo's latest effort still comes up short, so Pisken teaches her his own secret recipe. When the five men consume her latest creation down to the last drop, Tampopo knows she has won. Tabo also triumphs, beating all three of his tormentors and subsequently befriending them. As customers fill her newly redecorated shop, the men file out one by one. Throughout the film, other minor scenes of other characters are featured. A group of business executives visit a French restaurant but have no idea how to order and are upstaged by a surprisingly worldly subordinate. A women's etiquette class on how to eat spaghetti silently in the European manner abruptly changes course upon observing a white man slurping his noodles. A gentleman has a rotten tooth extracted, then eats ice cream afterward, taunting a young child whose mother forbids him to eat sweets. A supermarket clerk catches an aged woman obsessed with squeezing food. A con man uses an elaborate meal to lure a victim into an investment scam; the victim is himself a thief but is so taken by the meal that he fails to leave with the con man's wallet before being arrested. A housewife rises from her deathbed to cook one last meal for her family, who mournfully eat to memorialise her. A man and his lover explore erotic ways to use food. The man is ultimately shot several times by an unknown assailant, to his lover's horror, though he is satisfied at the end of his life and hopes to see it play out like a film. A woman on a park bench breastfeeds an infant. *Information sourced online in the public domain. ShippingCombined shipping is never a problem.

For the purpose of identification, order accuracy and prompt delivery of goods, contact details (including name, address, telephone number & eBay username) as provided by eBay will be printed on the address label. Payment Please pay for your purchase within 7 days, or the sale will be cancelled and the item automatically relisted. As a courtesy, a generic payment reminder will be sent after 4 days. Feedback Policy I sell tangible goods - NOT feedback. For this reason, I do not leave feedback for buyers, and never have done. I use the automated feedback system which eBay provides sellers. It is triggered to leave a positive rating and a random comment (from a list of 10 saved comments) upon receipt of positive feedback from the buyer - or in simpler terms, at the conclusion of the transaction. If you're expecting feedback prior to the conclusion of the transaction, or if you expect personalised rather than generic comments, please be prepared for disappointment. Any/all message requests for feedback will either receive a generic reply, or be ignored completely. So the bottom line is; don't expect feedback, don't be a feedback beggar, and your feedback score will automatically increase by one after you complete the transaction. If you disagree with my feedback policy, please find an alternate seller. Terms of Sale (the fine print)Unfortunately, a certain undesirable element has made the inclusion of these terms a necessity. They are as follows;By bidding, buying or making an offer, you agree that you have read the listing in its entirety - including these terms. You acknowledge understanding all content, and confirm complete agreement with same. All of my listings have preferences set to automatically decline unrealistic offers. I'm not in the habit of giving things away, so please keep it real. Sending ridiculously low counter offers (lowballing) will result in you being blocked immediately. If you seriously think I will entertain an offer of $2.50 for a $425.00 item, I suggest you seek help for your condition. Perhaps unassisted online shopping isn't an appropriate activity for you. While on the subject of blocking, if you wish to make an offer, please use the tools provided by eBay. If you try to circumvent the system by messaging me with an offer, you will be reported for trying to trade outside of eBay, and voilà... you're blocked. Estimated delivery times are just that - an estimate. They are provided by eBay, and have nothing whatsoever to do with either the delivery service provider or the seller. Postage star ratings for all items are in relation to the seller's handling time. As in, how long it takes them to post the item after receiving your payment. You are rating the seller - NOT the delivery service provider. Sellers have no control over delivery times for Australia Post, Aramex, DHL, or any other chosen shipping company. If you wish to rate their service, please visit their respective website. Using the eBay feedback system to rate a seller's handling time, based on the level of service you were provided by a third party, is not only unfair, it's highly inappropriate. At the time of dispatch, you will receive an email advice with an attached photograph of the item as it went out the door. While items are dispatched at all hours of the day and night, in most cases they are generally not picked up until some time between 8am and 6pm on the following business day (usually around noon, but times vary). Different screen resolutions may alter colours on different devices. Any measurements given are done by hand, and therefore approximate. Please allow for a variation of anywhere up to 10 - 20mm My home is smoke free, but not pet free. While all care is taken, the possibility still remains of static electricity causing lint, thread, plastic or even a stray hair to cling to packaging items. If there's even the slightest chance you may find this offensive, please do not purchase this item. Upon entry of the UPC number, item specifics are auto-filled by the eBay system. These system generated product details overwrite manual entries, and may, or may not be accurate. The grading system used on my listings is provided by eBay. For console game discs, CDs and DVDs, it is as follows; Disc ConditionScratching/MarkingRatingBrand NewN/AN/ALike NewBlemish FreeVery GoodAnywhere between Light and MediumGoodAnywhere between Medium and HighAcceptableAnywhere between High and Extreme All items are graded based on whichever category applies best to the item. As an example, an item listed as "Good" condition, doesn't mean it is in good condition. It means it is the grading (as the second lowest), which best applies to the item. If you disagree with the grading system implemented by eBay and used in this listing, please do not buy this item. When an item is described as used, that means it is used. All known defects, blemishes or imperfections are noted in the listing. If you are wanting a new item, please buy one. Do not buy a used item and expect something brand new to be delivered - especially for $3.00 with free postage. If something is described as having medium to high level scratching, expect it to have medium to high level scratching. Complaining that your item showed up scratched when that is exactly how it was described casts serious doubt on your character and/or intelligence. Once again, if you are after a blemish free item, please buy it new. Used CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs are checked for defects under warm light, cool light and natural light. They are then tested on a Laser BLU-BD4000 Blu-ray player, while console games are tested on the relevant gaming console. Due to varying levels of sensitivity between playback units, what works without fault on my test equipment may not work properly on your personal setup. I am not responsible for the quality or functionality of your hardware, and am in no way at fault if the disc doesn't function correctly in your system.Please Note: There are known sensitivity issues with the following DVD/Blu-ray playersLG - DV582HPanasonic - DP-UB150 In the unlikely event of something going wrong, you agree to contact me first before taking any other action. You agree to assist me with any investigation by providing any/all requested information as soon as possible. All items above $15.00 in value, and all items larger than a letter will be shipped with tracking. To avoid damage in transit, all items are packaged in a professional manner for shipping. This is NOT negotiable. Any requests for modifications to packaging practices will be declined. Not only do I know what I'm doing, but I don't tell you how to do your job - so don't tell me how to do mine! Just because an item is listed as "free postage" does not mean that postage is free. It is not. It means that the postage cost is factored into the sale price, and borne by the seller. Any refunds provided will have the actual postage and packaging charges, along with all applicable fees deducted from the refund amount you are given. Never assume. If you find any missing or incomplete information in a listing, please ask for further details. I'm always only too happy to help out whenever I can, and would appreciate the opportunity to revise the listing.
