Movie legend Agya Koo, born Alexander Kofi Adu, has decried uncontrolled insults and sex scenes in movies.

He spoke on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z hosted by Kwame Dadzie.

Agya Koo, asked about the prevalence of insults in local movies, especially films from Kumawood, answered: "It's not good."

He recalled a time the Asante King confided in him that "he watches the movies" but was quite worried about the frequency of nakedness portrayed "especially since children were also part of the usual audience".

The comic star noted, apart from Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Kumawood had fans in former President John Agyekum Kufuor and "even judges".

Kumawood (Kumasi + Hollywood), is a revolutionary film movement, headquartered in the legendary Garden City, Kumasi, at the heart of the Asante Kingdom.

Agya Koo noted the "bitter hatred" he suffered once he spoke to producers and directors of films to mind the language and scenes in their films.

He highlighted his "demonstration against pornography in Ghana," also.

He praised the popular Indian telenovelas for how they manage adult scenes.

"When a pair are about to kiss, they cut to another scene. Just when they are about to make love, they cut to another scene. Everybody watching knows what they mean when they do that. It is needless to have the actor take off all their clothes, and what does that teach the child watching? 

"I protested against such scenes. Some agreed with me, and others opposed me," he bemoaned.

Agya Koo, undeterred, assured that his passion for filmmaking that brings "worldwide glory" to Ghana is intact, acknowledging the efforts of like minds also.

Furthermore, he called for "oneness as one country" among players in the vernacular-speaking and English-speaking worlds of filmmaking in Ghana, arguing that Ghana’s advancement, and the “benefit of posterity” is supreme.
