Does anyone know of a torrent site that has hollywood movies dubbed with japanese but no english subs? Most of what I have found so far has English subs.
Thanks in advance!

That is difficult as most Japanese, like us, prefer to watch foreign movies in the original language with the addition of subtitles in the native language. They would probably upload them to the internet the same way unless it is a DVDISO image file, but I do not know of such places to get those.
Were there any movies you were interested in specifically?

Your best bet would be Share. I forget what clusters I used, but I was able to find a ton of movies with both English and Japanese audio tracks. Like, all the Terminator, Alien, and Die Hard movies, as well as assorted other things that caught my interest. Probably have about 30 of the things now.

You could just download "mkv" or "avi" file format movies with soft subs (not hard-coded into the video, but a separate file). Then remove the subtitles file (SRT, SUB, ASS, SSA, etc.) and consult it with WordPad while watching the movie without subs.
I believe most Japanese releases of Hollywood movies aren't dubbed (at least not for the theatrical release) because they aren't cultural philistines like these dumb-asses here in the U.S.
So it may be difficult to find what you're looking for.

The theatrical releases are usually subbed, I think, but the DVD releases I've seen overwhelmingly have both English and Japanese tracks. Since that's what most rips are taken from, it's fairly easy to find dubs so long as you make sure to look for MKVs.

Best bet is Share or Perfect Dark. If you don't know how to use them, jcafe24 has good tutorials. You could always ask for someone to download it for you and torrent it?

I don't think you'll find much on the internet. Dubs in Japan are mostly just consumed by children who can't read the subs well enough yet. There isn't the repulsion of subtitles like there is in North America. Children with poor reading skills aren't likely to be ripping too many DVDs to post to the internet. Combine that with the fact that Japanese people don't pirate movies at anywhere near the rate of the west.
Most major films are dubbed for theatrical release, but only run in the daytime showings. Evening showings switch over to subtitled copies.
