The Brute

Was met with considerable controversy in the UK media when first released in 1977 due to its graphic depiction of domestic violence & physical spousal abuse.

The sex scenes were heavily cut by British censor James Ferman when first theatrically released in the UK in 1977. the out of print UK BRENT WALKER VHS & US TRINITY DVD versions are also cut (the violent scenes in all versions are uncut). The UK BBFC 2022 limited edition bluray is uncut but minus the psychiatrist prologue. it is however included in the 'special features' section of the bluray (the psychiatrist prologue is included at the film's opening in all previously released versions).
