Action Réaction (Action Reaction) is a French Canadian game show, an adaptation of the Bob Stewart Productions game show Chain Reaction, in which players compete to form chains composed of two-word phrases. It aired on TQS from 1986 to 1990, with Pierre Lalonde as host, and recorded at CFCF in Montreal, concurrent to the English version broadcast on Global Television Network and USA Network recorded at CFCF with Blake Emmons (later replaced by Geoff Edwards) as hosts. Unlike its English language version, which used the Bob Cobert theme from the 1980 NBC version in the United States, the theme was "Sunset Boulevard" from Larry Owens. Originally, Lalonde was to have hosted both the English and French language versions, but because of original plans for syndication, was later replaced by Edwards on the English version after Emmons did not want to commute from California to Quebec.
