Why wasnt Action Jackson made into a franchise like Rambo or Dirty Harry?

You had a known actor (Apollo Creed) who was in good shape, decent actor, good at action and all sorts of easy generic premises to stick him into,IMO Carl Weathers should've gotten atleast 3 movies for Action Jackson.

As much as I love the movie, Action Jackson didn't become a franchise because it was a critical and box office flop.

It's better as a one-shot deal, like Kathleen Turner as VI Warksowski
