They even have a special chair designed to force Logan into the position they want, claws out and ready for his HealingFactor to be extracted.

Obviously Logan can't do that, so he goes in from under the rib cage. This means he technically had to put a fist sized hole in his diaphragm and shouldn't have been able to breathe, let alone speak, while he shoved aside various organs in an effort to ''get his fist half a foot into his chest and reach his heart''.

** Logan's skeleton weighs hundreds of pounds in canon; when he jumps down onto a tin roof or runs into a car, the impact should show significantly more response than when a 200 pound man jumps onto it.

Shingen responds very poorly to being passed over in favor of his daughter, becoming a secondary villain behind the main plot (as a noir film, this is an effective misdirect disguising the true antagonist).
