The canvas of this movie is so large you have to constantly think 10 scenes ahead. You can't wing it. They didn't go into the Battle of Waterloo not knowing what their strategy would be. Well, this movie is kind of like a cinematic warfare. We have a huge cast and crew (more than 250 people) and tough locations to deal with. Everyone and everything has to coordinate.[8]
Rambo III opened in the United States on May 25, 1988, at 2,562 theaters in its opening weekend (the four-day Memorial Day weekend), ranking #2 behind Crocodile Dundee II.[19][20] Overall, the film grossed $53,715,611 domestically and then took $135,300,000 overseas, giving Rambo III a box office total of $189,015,611.[5] The film underperformed at the box-office.[21] Some critics noted that the timing of the movie, with its unabashedly anti-Soviet tone, ran afoul of the opening of communism to the West under Mikhail Gorbachev, which had already changed the image of the Soviet Union to a substantial degree by the time the movie was finished.[22]

On At the Movies, prominent critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert agreed that Rambo III delivers all the mechanical elements that audiences expect from a big budget action movie but lacks the heart seen in similar films such as the James Bond series and even its immediate predecessor, Rambo: First Blood Part II. Siskel gave it a "thumbs up", while Ebert said he was undecided; however, at the end of the show Ebert's vote was logged as a "thumbs down".[26]
The domestic film industry's articulation toward the global film industry, however, has changed. On one side, Chinese films have selectively entered the international market. "Fifth Generation" directors such as Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou have garnered prizes at major international film festivals; and their critically acclaimed films are available in major movie rental stores in North America. (20) Gradually, these filmmakers have grown increasingly autonomous of the domestic Chinese film infrastructure and gained the support of foreign investors and distributors. For example, Chen Kaige's latest epic, "The Emperor and the Assassin," was funded by Japanese capital and distributed by Sony, and he is making his English-language debut in Hollywood by directing "Killing Me Softly," an erotic big budget thriller starring Heather Graham. (21) Chinese cultural resources, from the ancient legend Mulan to contemporary Chinese sceneries and talents, are being incorporated by Hollywood. While Mulan is Disneyfied, some 80% of China's cartoon artists are working for Disney. (22)
A decade later, an epistemic transformation had occurred. Hollywood movies are not just foreign movies from the U.S. They are "big movies" (da pian) or "grand movies" (ju pian), the master of all movies, standing above movies from other countries. To see them has become a cultural citizenship entitlement for China's rising middle class. The flourishing domestic pirate VCD market of Hollywood films is a clear sign of this. Beginning in 1995, China made a commitment to import up to 10 first run Hollywood films per year. Driven by profit considerations, the state-controlled film distributor and cinemas aggressively promoted Hollywood movies, while ignoring domestic productions. This double standard, as Dai Jinhua, a Beijing University professor noted, "further intensifies the squeezing power of transnational capital over domestic films." (24) In 1995, the "most glorious year" for the Chinese film box office due to the surge in Hollywood imports, more than 70 domestic Chinese films were shelved, without a chance to be exhibited in theatres.
