Maybe it's a 4-disc 4K UHD / Blu-Ray combo and also a stand alone 2-disc Blu-Ray release ?

'Come Drink With Me' (1966) - Coming to 4K UHD in the UK from 88films as part of the 88Asia line

Release date: June 23

"A fearless heroine ... a kung-fu master in hiding ... a seemingly invincible villain ... and a film that's universally regarded as one of the greatest ever made in Hong Kong.

The heroine is Golden Swallow (Cheng Pei-pei - Painted Faces; Crounching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - in a star-making turn). She's been dispatched by her powerful father to rescue her brother who's been taken hostage by bandits. The kung-fu master is Fan Da-pei (Heroes Shed No Tears; Rumble in the Bronx); he may look like a drunken beggar but he's one of the best fighters around. Trouble is, the only man who can beat him is helping the bandits ...

Directed by the legendary King Hu (A Touch of Zen; The Fate of Lee Khan) for the mighty Shaw Brothers studio, Come Drink With Me shook up martial arts movies and influenced everyone from Bruce Lee to Jackie Chan and beyond. No wonder 88 Films are so proud to present this 4K Dolby Vision Premiere"

Extras TBA

I bought the initial Blu-ray release of this nearly five years ago and, although I think it's good, I've probably seen it twice, so won't be upgrading for better AV quality.

'Species' (1995) - Pre-order available from Amazon UK = UK$30.00

Release date: June 23

"With a creature designed by H. R. Giger and cast which includes Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, and Natasha Henstridge in her feature debut, Species is the perfect mix of shocking sci-fi with the added bonus of a very sexy, and seductive alien.

Sil (Henstridge) is creation of alien DNA which has been spliced with that of a human. She grows and develops incredibly quickly into a creature capable of killing all in her path with only one thing on her mind, to successfully reproduce and continue her extermination of the whole human race.

Visually stunning with a knowing nod to the classic B-movies of the 50s, this big budget fantasy manages to balance gruesome effects with cinemas most beautiful monster."

More info TBA

Hopefullly they annouce Species II for July.
