"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 it's way onto the rental market (6:07) -

OVERALL: Draw
The Columbia Tristar releases from France, Holland, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, the Austria NSM, and Scandinavia Universal releases for the "International Cut" of the film in the anamorphic 1.85:1 theatrical ratio.
The Australian Umbrella release has all four versions of the film (one on Blu-ray and three on DVD) with exclusive extras on the Blu-ray disc.
General notes:
Greek VHS Cut (94:33):
(This info is from the Rewind user Asmund_Utvik)
This is the "International Cut" but contains the following additional dialog-scenes, which are missing from the DVD-releases. These are presumably from a pre-release version.
Scene 1:
After the conversation about the vigilante in New York, there are additional 31 seconds of dialog, where the police chief is telling a story about his former partner, who is now dead.
Scene 2:
After the conversation about Paul Kersey, there are additional 14 seconds of dialog: “I don´t think I heard that question, and I don`t think you ask the questions Mr. District Attorney.”
Scene 3:
Additional diner-scene with Jill Ireland and Charles Bronson (1:06 min).
International Cut (91:55):
Differences between the "R-Rated and International Cuts" can be found at Movie-Censorship.
Both of the rape scenes are cut. While only the more violent aspects of the maid's rape scene were cut, the daughter's rape scene was almost entirely removed (except for the last few seconds). Also, the daughter afterwards is shown jumping out the window, but the R-Rated cut removes the part, where she gets impaled on a fence.
The Television Cut (93:57):
This a completely sanitised version made for network TV; all explicit sex, violence and profanity has been removed and a small amount of deleted scenes have been added to compensate. -
CUTS:
- R0 Double Feature Australia- Umbrella Entertainment - No cuts. Includes the International Version (91:55) on Blu-ray and the Theatrical Cut (89:48 NTSC), the Greek VHS Cut (94:33 NTSC), and the Television Cut (93:57 NTSC) on DVD
