There was a Chinese film last year (Lou Ye's Mystery) that had to be digitally altered in post because the censors objected to the use of a sledgehammer as a murder weapon. They changed it to a shovel and everything was all right.

Bear in mind that China actually has occasional instances of mass stabbings. Obviously the censors don't have an issue with swordplay in period movies (just like they don't have a problem with guns in Hong Kong or foreign films), but contemporary-set mainland films are held on a tighter leash where violence is

they auditioned both and decided the dead body wasn't what they were looking for

I think they only show full frontal in a wide shot. I only noticed on the second viewing, so it's not implausible the censors would miss it.

For a movie like this, yes.

It's the scene near the end of the film when he's hanging upside-down in the barn, Boyd Crowder nearly castrates him, Samuel L. Jackson monologizes, etc. Actually that's pretty much the whole scene.
