I mean, I've seen movies labeled as "uncut" when it's just a different version than the rest. In the US they cut down a lot of films to make them PG-13 for it's theatrical run, however, the home releases are usually labeled as "uncut" because they add back in all the T&A along with any cut gore that would have stopped it from getting the PG-13. I'm not sure if this is the case for other countries or not, admittedly my own scope is limited.

I swear this practice is a pretty recent thing - way too recent to be an issue with laserdiscs, that's for sure. Then again, the US release of Hard Target is technically uncut, but it's the R-rated version, while the UK and Japanese releases are the truly uncut unrated version. And then you have those weird situations where the movie is technically uncut but is heavily altered, like that weird foreign version of the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie that replaces every single instance of anything Japanese with something else.

Rambo toys were made years later by Coleco as a death rattle and were based on the cartoon Around the same time they did a Chuck Norris cartoon also and another company made a toy line that again was a failure. Kenner did the Robocop stuff and had all the licencing for all the big blockbuster films like Star Wars, Aliens, Robocop, Congo etc. They were just hoping that the others would pay off like SW did. As for ratings on films, I guess you could show that such and such released on LD had a higher rating due to standards of the time and now is a G rated film due to Saw, Hostel and other great classics
