"Born a Rebel" is one of many Nicholas Steele features stockpiled after his successful term at Adam & Eve Productions, and later released en masse by Bluebird Films of England, under a sort of sub-label called "Seductions". It is one of the poorest.

Harking back to those 1970s theatrical porn movies starring the likes of Rene Bond in 1950s costumes & settings, we have a studio-set diner where youngsters congregate and talk about dating, when not having explicit sex. A pastiche soundtrack heavy on a lousy rock & roll arrangement of "Danny Boy" plays incessantly, and the cast, particularly lead Steven St. Croix, overact as Steele tries to present almost a spoof.

Blonde leading lady Syvette Wimberly looks okay but can't act, her line readings an embarrassment. Randy Spears is ridiculously cast as a teen, giving wimp St. Croix a hard time in a movie that cries out for some action, as its frequent attempts at humor all fall flat. A young Mr. Pete is believable in context, though ridiculousness has Mickey G and Brooke Banner cast as his parents who just don't understand the younger generation. Perhaps the fact that Pete is three years older in real life than his "mom" accounts for this.
