Yeah. Pagz covered the issue regarding calling them the Special Editions. It would have to be a new name, but it would have to be labelled somehow. Most everything else gets labelled as such. The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen. The Abyss: The Director's Cut. Aliens: Special Edition. Apocalypse Now Redux. People can tell that they are not the original versions based on the title modifiers. And, for each of those, a version exists without the additional footage. Wow. They made both camps happy, didn't they? Some of the versions may not be the easiest to find anymore, but they do exist.
