''9½ Weeks'' is a 1986 American erotic romantic drama film directed by Adrian Lyne, based on the 1978 memoir of the same name by Austrian-American author Ingeborg Day.
New York City art gallery employee Elizabeth [=McGraw=] (Creator/KimBasinger) meets mysterious Wall Street broker John Gray (Creator/MickeyRourke) and as they start dating, Elizabeth is increasingly subjected to John's various experimental sexual practices that push Elizabeth's boundaries. In doing so, their relationship becomes volatile and Elizabeth experiences a gradual downward spiral toward emotional breakdown.
The film was completed in 1984, but not released until February 1986, as it was considered too explicit by its American distributor, and cut for U.S. release, though it later acquired a large fanbase on video and has developed a cult following.

Elizabeth picks up a knife from one of the attackers and stabs one of them and both attackers flee. After the fight, John and Elizabeth have sex onsite.

Until you realize that the song playing in the scene is the novelty song "Bread and Butter" by The Newbeats, which ends up making the scene lighthearted and somewhat humorous in an otherwise downbeat film.
