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.

After the success why not make money and make part II? It's comedy genius.

I cannot watch the Biggus Diccus scene without laughing hysterically. Just perfectly executed.

agreed though I would expand and just say the whole movie was perfect, I still use "wait for the shake" as a statement all the time

Because the execs wanted him to do part 2 with an all female cast
