The original ending of the movie Rambo 3 ended with the following:

"This film is dedicated to the brave Mujahideen fighters of Afghanistan."

For those who don’t watch the video, this was actually an internet hoax. The end credits never said this.
No. I clearly remember seeing that in the end credits, when I first watched Rambo 3 on TV, in the late 90s. Rambo 3 was a great movie and I liked it more than the first one, because I was a kid back then.

I remember it clearly because that was the first movie I saw exploding arrows. I don’t know if the explosive arrows were made famous in Rambo 3 or in Predator. In any case I watched quite a few reruns of Rambo 3 on TV, and they clearly had that dedicated to mujahideen fighters message in the end credits.

My apologies! Thank you for pointing this out.
Not a hoax. This was on the VHS release of Rambo. "The dedication on the VHS release of the film said "to the brave Mujahideen fighters". It was later changed to "to the gallant people of Afghanistan"." See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambo_III
The video you linked claims it's a hoax.
