LOS ANGELES, May 23 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Karen Allen said she had no trouble picking up where she left off with her two-time co-star Harrison Ford on the new Indiana Jones movie.

Allen co-starred with Ford in the first Indiana Jones flick "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and reprises her role of Marion Ravenwood in Steven Spielberg's latest "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

The actress told More magazine that on the first day of filming the new installment in the franchise, she and Ford had to leap from the back of a moving truck into its cab.

"Harrison and I were laughing in between takes, saying, 'Here we go again.' It just felt really seamless," she recalled. "Now, we've all grown up, we all have kids: Steven has seven children; Harrison has several families. As a younger actor, I had a harder time enjoying the process. I was so serious about it all, there was more ego involved. I'd never worked on big action things where you spend you entire day navigating through snakes or having corpses fall on your head, and I was overwhelmed."
