Absolutely not. The fleeting aerial and street level shots of Panama City between indoor scenes, however, are real. In fact, all indoor scenes were shot in the U. S. (probably in L. A.), the film crew made several trips to Panama for those outdoor shots of the city.
The John Travolta/Sam Jackson movie "Basic" was set in Panama and partially shot in "Casco Viejo" the city's colonial quarter. The carnival scene, to be exact.
