Movies filmed in Panama City
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Panama City as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
- Prison Break 2005–2017
-
Quantum of Solace
2008
“Shooting in Panama City began on 7 February 2008 at Howard Air Force Base.” Wikipedia
- Contraband 2012

The Tailor of Panama
2001
“The Tailor of Panama was shot at the Ardmore Studios in County Wicklow, Ireland, and on location in Panama City, Lake Gatun and Gamboa, Panama.” Wikipedia
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Panama City, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
