I have noticed that too. I guess it's because we Americans as a culture don't value manners and civility. We prefer heroes who solve problems with brute force and who aren't afraid to speak their minds directly about everything. I guess that's why we have a reputation for being so vulgar and mouthy.
But sometimes you get American movies where the villain is your typical impolite Yank. Especially if he's military or gangster.
