apparently Destoyer "destroyed" the hopes they had for turning this into a Rambo-style series that never ends. They ostracized their already existing fans by attempting to make it go mainstream with kids but I can understand why they would have attempted that.. the opportunities for merchandising was absolutely huge at the time when action figures and collectibles could easily surpass any amount of money that a film would hope to make on its own. There likely would have been issues with attempting to sell conan toys to kids if there was a ton of gory violence and boobies in the movies though.
