Hi David.
I know that when Death Wish series 1-5 were released on vhs/dvd in the US some of the sequels were heavily edited by MPAA for rape scenes.
If I remember correct DW part II was chopped a lot in the US, the greek version was the best longest cut available.
US cuts seemed not to be so good compared to international cuts which many times had a longer run time.
I suspect that my dvd of D-W part III is trimmed down coz it's so lame in most action scenes.
I still like this shit-ty movie coz Cannon pics were involved in the production.
I love Cannon films!
I would say Death Wish II and IIII were the most violent sequels of them all.
Part III was banned by censorship in Sweden when it came out, we could never rent this movie at video stores.
Had to get uncut bootlegs from abroad to watch certain banned or censored movies which were never released in Sweden when censorship bureau gave us movie fans a hard time banning movies.
This was back in the days when VHS was the only rental format in Sweden
Cheerio
