Tendons and sinew and machine guns, oh my! Folks, “Rambo” fans, I have excellent news: “First Blood” is blasting his way back to theaters. The 1982 classic will screen one night only on Thursday, May 15 on 430 screens nationwide, courtesy of Lions Gate Films and National CineMedia, the same digital distributor that recently staged one-night revival screenings of ”Poltergeist” and “Dirty Dancing.”

This “First Blood” will be digitally-remastered in high definition and feature an alternate ending that would have altered the course of the “Rambo” franchise and, I suspect, the whole of human history as we know it. Sylester Stallone will also narrate a special short film about the franchise.

Three Valley theaters will host “First Blood” screenings: the Ahwatukee 24 in Phoenix (4915 E. Ray), the Desert Ridge 18 in north Phoenix (21001 N. Tatum) and the Cinemark 16 in Mesa (1051 Dobson Rd.). Showtime is 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.fathomevents.com.
