Permanent Vacation is a 1980 film directed, written and produced by Jim Jarmusch.

 The film won the Josef von Sternberg Award at the 1980 Mannheim-Heidelberg International Filmfestival.
Ina is a 1982 Malayalam film directed by I. V. Sasi.
 The film explores teen lust, child marriage and the consequences.
 It stars Master Raghu and Devi in the lead roles while Kanchana, Rasheed and B. K. Pottekkadu play major supporting roles.

 Its basic story is inspired from the classic The Blue Lagoon (1980 film).
"Hangar 18" is a song by American heavy metal band Megadeth from the 1990 album "Rust in Peace".
 UFO conspiracy theories, or possibly "Hangar 18", the 1980 film based on those theories, inspired drummer Nick Menza to write the lyrics.
 Shortly thereafter, frontman Dave Mustaine composed the bulk of the music.
 The intro is a rapidly strummed version of the D minor arpeggio that Mustaine wrote for the Metallica instrumental track "The Call of Ktulu", which was the final Metallica song he was given writing credit for.
 Hangar 18 is located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, and it is speculated that an alien aircraft was brought there from Roswell in 1947.
 The song reached number #25 on the Irish Singles Chart, also reached number #26 on the UK Singles Chart.

 Conflicts between Glickenhaus and Chan during production led to two official versions of the film: Glickenhaus' original version for American audiences and a Hong Kong version re-edited by Jackie Chan.
 Chan later directed "Police Story" as a response to this film.
