It was a stand alone movie.
The title was a joke.
To name his epic farce, Brooks played on Sir Walter Raleigh’s historical tome, The History of the World.
Raleigh, who was beheaded, never got to finish his epic, and with “PartI,” Brooks was referencing the fact that Raleigh’s work was incomplete.
But the director also had a personal reason for the title — he wastired of people asking him what his next movie would be. This way, theywould assume a sequel was up next, and leave him alone.
