Death Wish II (1982), Death Wish 3 (1985) Blu-Ray + DVD9 Umbrella Entertainment

The original Death Wish was an unexpected hit in 1974, which came with it a bit of controversy tied to it due to the amount of sexual violence in it, as well as its portrayal of vigilantism in a favorable light. However, it only helped the film at the box office as it resonated with audiences who were feeling increasingly antagonistic towards the hostility around them and the police who they were beginning to distrust. The film also caused a major shift in Charles Bronson’s career, which ultimately lead to him not being able to shed his Paul Kersey persona, even in other films.
After the events of the first film Kersey relocates to Los Angeles to start his life over in Death Wish II. Sporting a new girlfriend on his arm and his recently-released from therapy daughter on the other, it isn’t long before history repeats itself and a group of thugs not only rape and kill his housekeeper, but also kidnap his daughter, leading to her eventual demise. Kersey hits the streets again to find them and kill them all, meanwhile trying to avoid the police in the process. In Death Wish 3, he returns to New York, only to find that it has transformed into a rotting cesspool due to gang violence. Now known as a seasoned pro when it comes to being a vigilante, Kersey is unofficially hired by the police to go after the local criminals with his own brand of justice.

"Death Wish 3: Extended and Deleted Scenes"
The following scenes appear on an Australian VHS released by Hoyts / Polygram in the late 1980s. This version was heavily edited to reduce language and violence, but contains several scenes which are extended, alternate takes or not in the theatrical cut.
It is suspected that this version was a TV edit which somehow found its way onto the rental market (6:07)

First off, thanks for this post. I've been looking for the uncut Death Wish II blu-ray for years.
However, I'm having issues with the Bonus DVD. If possible, can you please verify the rip of the bonus DVD against its source? I can't seem to access the Greek VHS version with any software. All my playback software dies when trying to play the Greek cut, and all my ripping software only shows the Theatrical and Television cuts in the files. Anyone else have issues with the DVD?
Thanks for this post. same here im getting same problem with bonus Disc.
but using Dvdfab 10 u can access the Greek VHS version as movie only hope this helps you
Brad, thanks for the info. I tried DVDFab 10 (was using 9 as one of my attempts to get to the Greek cut), but I still only see 2 cuts available. Title 3 seems to be the Television Cut, running at 1:33:57, and Title 4 is the Theatrical Cut at 1:28:48. The Greek Cut is supposed to be the longest of the three at 1:34:33 but it's not showing up as any of the titles even in DVDFab 10 for me. EVen looking directly in the VIDEO_TS folder structure, it looks like there are only two VTS titles that are movie length instead of three. Unless there's some weird seamless branching at work here that none of my rippers or players can detect, it looks like it's still missing. I've even tried extracting the rar files again in case that was the issue, but still not working. 🙁
I apologize.
I looked in DvdReMake, indeed the structure of the DVD is broken and one of the versions of the movie is missing.
Unfortunately I do not have original disks and I can not fix it.
Movieworld, thanks for looking into it! It's not a huge deal as all the other cuts are intact (I mostly wanted the 1080p uncut release anyway), but I'm glad I'm not losing my mind with trying to rip the DVD :). If you ever get access to the original disk again, please keep us in mind. Thanks again.
Will you, by chance, be moving these files over to hitfile.net? I plan on getting a premium month for "Death Wish" 4 & 5, but see these two volumes remain under the previous "Upstore" file. Just wondering. Thanks for the neat shares.
Files were moved to hitfile.
Thanks for moving to hitfile! Really appreciate it. Now the "Death Wish" Collection is complete. Thank you, Movieworld.
