Lionsgate is certainly doing their part to help promote the latest and supposed last entry in Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo franchise and aptly named Rambo: Last Blood, the initial trailers have promised us a very brutal and unforgiving chapter in the iconic film series.

To help celebrate the release, Lionsgate has declared this Friday, September 20th as Rambo Day! Why the HELL not! The day will not only feature the release of the film but other festivities are in order as well which you can see below courtesy of Collider.com!

Along with all that great stuff, Lionsgate has also dropped a brand new synopsis:

Now, Rambo must confront his past and unearth his ruthless combat skills to exact revenge in a final mission. A deadly journey of vengeance, Rambo: Last Blood marks the last chapter of the legendary series. Lionsgate in association with Millennium Media presents, a Millennium Media Balboa Productions and Templeton Media production, in association with Campbell Grobman Films, and in association with Dadi Film (HK) Limited.
