I don't really remember, since I haven't seen the original since it came out. I think they had an image of him from him army days though, that may shed some light on it.

Does Statham have an "American" accent? I just assumed he's played a Brit in everything he's ever done, or has he joined the Sean Connery/Liam Neeson/Sean Bean this-is-just-the-way-they-talk-deal-with-it club.
