Why the slow motion UPSKIRTS at the beggining?


I think they were rather unnecessary...
And Kerri Green had already plenty of upskirts in The Goonies a year before this movie came out...

The upskirt shots in The Goonies were good enough for you, but they weren't good enough for me. ;)

Don't get me wrong, those panty shots of Keri are awesome. But in Lucas we actually got a better look at her thanks to the slow motion.



What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?

Got it!
I imagine the director of Lucas explaining his idea to Kerri:
Director: "So, you like to show off your panties like you did in your last movie The Goonies? Well, that's OK with me, but now let's focus them the right way! Let's film your ASS - while you are playing tennis wearing a short skirt - at 60 frames per second!"
Kerri: "But, don't you think the audience will think you are a pervert?"
Director: "Don't worry, dear! I'll put some classical music over that scene, so it will look fancy!"
Kerri: "Yeah, cool!"
Director: "Great, now lemme choose the right panties for your scene and we can start rehearsing the scene!"
Kerri: "Ok, sure!"


P.S. I know the director's name is David Seltzer, just didn't want to get too personal

This may have been a POV shot of what Lucas was observing when seeing Maggie for the first time. Seems pretty fitting IMO

The slow motion was a way to show us how Lucas was flabbergasted by the girl
