Cowavideo, Dudes!: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans will probably shell out some extra cash later this year when “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie” is released on home video by Family Home Entertainment, the children’s label of LIVE Entertainment Inc. “Turtles,” which will be supported by a $20-million marketing campaign, will pop into video stores on Oct. 4 at a suggested list price of $24.99. In what is being touted as a first in home video, each tape will come with a coupon book good for more than $20 in free food and Pepsi-Cola from Pizza Hut.
