Just got the Grindhouse Experience 20-movie set: Where should I start?

I just got a 5-disc SHITLOAD of grindhouse movies from my sister-in-law as a gift (she knew I was a big fan of Grindhouse), one of them with 20 movies on it, and I needed to know what's good and what isn't. Focusing on the action stuff, there's other genres apparently included here, but I thought I'd ask for some opinions. This is what's on it:

Womens' Camp 119
Tortured Angels
Savage Man
Savage Beast
Raw Force
Confessions of a Police Captain
Executioner 2
Poseidon Explosion
Earthquake 7.9
Violent Professionals
Frank and Tony
Kung Fu Punch of Death
Return of the Tiger
Go Kill and Come Back
Bounty Man
Three Tough Guys
Mandinga
The Children
Demon Witch CHild
High School Hitchhikers
Carry On Emanuelle

Thoughts? Recommendations? These are really obscure I know, but I'm really excited to dig into this. Raw Force was the only one I'd heard of.

It's a total win-win. You gotta watch them all and just begin at the beginning! (Easier to keep track of what you've watched that way.)

I would start by taking it back to the store to get a refund!

Womens' Camp 119 is Bruno Mattei. Always start with Mattei!

That's what I'd do.

Seriously, I've seen a few of those (what little I could sit though) and they are nigh unwatchable. Certainly not something you'd want to own and watch again.

Violent Professionals and Confession of a Police Captain are pretty good Italian crime movies. The transfers are awful though.
Raw Force is a really fun kung fu zombie movie.
Executioner 2 is not a sequel to anything, which is weird.

Then again, awful A/V quality is just what I need for movies like this.

I got the set last year as a gift.

I've never watched it.

Maybe I'll check it out.

RAW FORCE. It is terrible but I am and always will be a staunch supporter of the Burbank Karate Club.
