Death Wish II proved controversial even before it was released, with the British Board of Film Classification cutting over three minutes out of the notorious scene in which Bronson's home is invaded by a group of drugged-out hooligans who gang-rape his Spanish maid. The director, Michael Winner, was reportedly furious. Some of the cuts have been reinstated for the 2005 DVD release, but it remains significantly shorter than the uncut version, which was previously available on video for a short time in the early eighties. There appears to be no definitive (or director's) cut of the film, and Death Wish II seems to exist in numerous slightly different versions, depending on where you are.
