The title card in the actual movie does state Part 1. But none of the marketing did. So people buy tickets not knowing it's only half the story.

That's kind of annoying. Even misleading.

I think that was probably added post-theater-release because BttF was actually planned as a standalone and got a sequel due to audience interest. Probably when it hit home video.
